Wikipedia no longer working on Kindle 3G
 
Now when I load Wikipedia it gives some lame "browser security" issue when I try to access it on the free Amazon 3G.

Is there a fix for this?

Which Kindle do you have?

I just tried this on my Paperwhite 4 with 4G and it brought me right to Wikipedia. I tried to do it on my Voyage with 3G but I wasn't able to turn off the Wifi for some reason. I restarted it a couple of times but nothing happens when I try to turn off Wifi so I can't test it on that.

Maybe you cannot turn off WiFi so you won't be using 3G while you have WiFi.

With my KK 3G I get that screen even when using Wi-Fi

Until Amazon update the KK firmware I think we are stuck

Can someone who installed this year's update report?

That was my point. I can't turn off the Wifi so I can test Wikipedia on 3G. However it did work on my new Paperwhite.

My Voyage is getting very finicky for some reason. I've been trying to find a neighbor who wants it.

You can't turn off your wifi router?

Wikipedia turned on https awhile back. There was also an update awhile back to refresh Kindle SSL certs (including K1). I don’t know if those things are related to the problem you’re seeing, but if you have bookmark of http://www.wikipedia.org, then you might try changing it to https:....
