Hi Marystack,

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

According to the description of the problem you are trying to access some government site but get message that it uses a protocol not supported. This question might be if you are connected to a network domain, or there is no restrictions applied to surf these sites.

If you use Internet Explorer and cannot open certain websites then, there may be a chance that the site is not compatible with Internet Explorer. So, I suggest to open these websites in compatibility view and see if it helps.

  • Open Internet Explorer.

  • Open Web site which is getting blocked.

  • To open the toolbar, press the alt key pressed .

  • Now, click on Tools.

  • Then click on compatibility view settings.

  • You will see the name of the Web site under Add this Web site, to do this, click Add to add this Web site.

  • Close the window and restart your computer.

Try it out below mentioned methods and see if it helps you to solve the problem.
