Anyone know if there are plans to protect this?

I'm getting this..

Good to read.
I still wonder what its future is?

If I try to follow the link (in Firefox) I get the error but If I type the address into a browser field (Firefox, Edge and Android), the site opens just fine. I wonder if there may be a problem with the link.

That doesn't address what can be done to protect the information on the site though...

I tried that unsuccessfully.

Curioser and curioser...

1) I have found that (in Firefox) if I try to follow the link you posted, I get the error you mention. If i then go straight to the address bar and type the address ('https//w6rec.com'), I still get the error... however... if I close the tab and open a new one, then type in the address, the site opens.

2) I have logged now logged into the forum on Edge, Chrome and Android and the link works perfectly on each of them. Guess it must be a 'Firefox' issue, possibly with the forum software...

Link works fine for me with Edge.

Some of the updates on Duane's site are as recent as Sept 23 so I can't imagine he would still be putting the effort in if there were no plans to have someone continue hosting it.

Just tried it here from NZ using Google Chrome and no issues at all.

I got access to it via https://w6rec.com/duane/bmw/lock/index.htm

Then, by deleting the address back to and after .com, I then had access to the homepage.

That link goes to his old page, which I think he still has up but running in the background.
