"access restricted" when trying to browse websites I had used before This happens only

on the iPad, not the iPhone I have gone through settings, etc to try to pinpoint the problem

Hi Panacea5997,

It sounds like you're not able to access certain websites from your iPad. I want to help you make sure your iPad is behaving as expected.

Let's go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
Do you have Content Restrictions enabled? If you do, tap Content Restrictions > Web Content, and make sure you check Unrestricted Access.

You Could also turn off Content & Privacy Restrictions entirely.

Learn more about restrictions here:

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

That did it! As soon as I followed your suggestion it all started to come back to me. Still not sure why this happened after the update to 12.1, or why only certain websites were restricted (Mayo Clinic?) but, that’s technology!

Again, many thanks for your help.
