New Security System

I have set up a system on this site that permits certain IP addresses and rejects everyone else. This gives us access to private pages without the need to log-in with a username and password. 

WHAT IS AN IP ADDRESS?

When your computer connects to the internet your Internet Provider (IP) gives you an IP address. This is a set of 4 numbers (from 0 - 255) separated by full stops. (e.g.178.145.109.121) This is an electronic address that the web uses to communicate with your computer.

Most Internet Providers supply you with what is called a Static IP Address. That is, an address that is always the same every time you connect. Unless you change connections or computers etc.

However, some Internet Providers like TalkTalk for example provide what is called a Dynamic IP Address. That is an address that changes every time you connect. They do this because it is safer for you if fraudsters never know in advance what your IP address is going to be. If you use TalkTalk your IP address will keep changing (Dynamic) so our system won't work for you.

It means you'll have to log in to view protected pages.

Let me know a username and password that you could remember and I'll program it in for you.

These will also work on DSOBA pages

If you have a static IP address & would like access to our private pages,
