To add, I have the same Firefox access issue on my Android phone. Chrome is working normal.
I added a Content-Security-Policy. Try again.

No change in behavior, seems to be even worse in Firefox as I am not able to login at all (no login screen is shown). Chrome is still working as normal.

If I enter mydomoticz at exactly
https://my.domoticz.com/mydomoticz/login, then it works for me in Firefox.
Otherwise, in case it redirects it doesn't work.
I'm not sure why.

The redirect url's were not absolute. They are now. Could you try again?

Just tested to open the site (
https://my.domoticz.com) with Firefox. Loading the site took me some or less 3 minutes. In Edge the site will load in max 2 seconds.

Still issues with Firefox.
Also when i check MyDomoticz my instance is offline now so I have to reboot.
It could be that it is my Internet Gateway as it is a 4G Router that resets itself every night (by operator) and perhaps gets a new external IP address....
Is it possible that Domoticz reconnects/checks automatic with MyDomoticz on a regular base? Now it only checks on reboot.

Just rebooted Domoticz, instance is online again. No change in external IP. No change in behavior of Firefox.

It does reconnect automatically. But it depends on what type of error it gets back (temporary or permanent).

I was wrong with my external IP, I get a new IP every night from my operator... My instance is offline now again.
Is there something else to do except rebooting Domoticz every day?

MyDomoticz finally works again!!! Successfully tested on PC running Chrome and on Android phone today. All is good
4 1/2 months without MyDomoticz remote access has actually been quite a nerve-racking experience, not being able to regularly monitor the automated heating during the winter months. Luckily it's worked out OK, with the local instance of Domoticz having done its job. But it sure is nice to finally be able to monitor the behavior remotely again.
Whoever managed to make it work again - thank you so much. And please - if it ain't broke then don't fix it
BTW - I am still running Domoticz version 2020.2 as I understand from various posts on this forum that version 2021.1, build 13191, still has several issues.

At the moment (and yesterday also) I could not reach Mydomoticz website, also not on
https://my.domoticz.com/mydomoticz/login , on no browser.
More people having this issue?

I've been having this issue the whole week. As far as I recall, it started around 5 June.
I have tried several times, different times of the day, different platforms, different browsers - always with the same result, i.e. not being able to reach MyDomoticz.
Would be nice to know whether anyone is actually responsible for MyDomoticz, whether anyone is actually doing something to make it available on a more consistent basis.
Anyone ready to step up to the plate and say "I own it, I will fix it"?

@chimit, any update to share? I still cannot connect to my.domoticz.com

I guess the site is broken again?
I first get a Certificate error. (Certificate is on name: acs.chimit.nl)
When I do continue (which should not be safe) I get error 403 Forbidden..

As MyDomoticz clearly does not work (it has only worked intermittently since January 2021), and as there does not seem to be any effort to make it work (no one has so far stepped up and said "I am / we are working on this and plan to have it sorted out by ..."), I guess there is only 1 alternative, namely adopting alternative ways of accessing my local Domoticz instance remotely (and securely).
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to best do this? Anyone with real experience as to what works and what needs to be done to make it work properly? And to do so securely.
Looking forward to views / recommendations.

My views on this:
Just have control yourself by setting up & utilizing a local VPN service and always use this VPN to access your local LAN.
Forget about port forwarding to give direct access to any system on the internal LAN.
Obviously this VPN services needs to be securely setup. Some Internet NAT Routers have it build-in or else they probably have an DMZ option where you can place the Server with the VPN service running on it. Use UserdId's with a long & hard to guess passwords or, even better, use certificates.
It's not perse a Plug&Play solution and requires some technical knowledge, but works for me.

@jvdz - Thanks a lot for your input. Much appreciated.
You confirmed what I suspected, namely the VPN route.
I guess I was somewhat optimistically hoping for more of a Plug&Play solution - although, in all fairness, I didn't quite expect it.
Time to sift through the VPN offerings out there and get remote Domoticz access that way.

As an alternative, and because it seems that you have Domoticz on a Raspberry, may be you can activate VNCServer with cloud connection (
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... ccess/vnc/). Then using Raspberry browser you can access to Domoticz.
