It would be critical for me to know which versions are supported and compatible with my old hardware to run without issues. Otherwise I might end up dealing with problems much worse than this one.
Are you saying these site explicitly deny connections based on the OS version number, regardless of the actual client I am using? I find this puzzling as I only need the read access via my client that should not need to pass any details such as OS version to the site. Is there anywhere I could find some information about this issue?
