Can't help about web access, but there was a HoH post earlier today :

So... I've been rummaging around on t'interweb. There are the usual, paid-for, web-based usenet services like Easynet which are geared up to users of binary files and there are three text based services listed in the Wikipedia article on Web Based Usenet one of which is Novabbs. I think we have to strike that one off the list, don't we?

Next up, Nemoweb.net seems to work.

That their interface is in French needn't be an impediment but the fact that it only seems to carry the Big 8 and fr.* groups might be.

I'm afraid these days my French is only

Newsgrouper.org also works. Not that you'd know it if you connect from anywhere in the UK when all you will see is a big bold notice saying they no longer serve the UK because of the Online Safety Act. However, when I popped over to The Netherlands one afternoon, so to speak, it was working fine from there.

Many years ago I sorted out web proxying so I could do my browsing outside of the UK for the simple reason that I do not need to be treated as a suspected criminal by my government. Best move I ever made. I can be in the UK, USA, and several non EU and non-Five Eyes countries.

None of this Online Safety pish bites me at present and all for €3.99/month ;-)

Dunno, but I use Blueworld hosting as an alternative -

I think it was found to have massive security holes :-(

I've used a VPN for several years. recently changed to this mob:

For read-only access there's

I don't know what extra functionality you get by creating a login?

I am using news.eternal-september.org to access this NG.

It doesn't carry binaries and I had to register myself as a user, but it is a free server.

It is reasonably reliable. It occasionally goes off air (ie it doesn't update with new posts) for a couple of days, but it always comes back including the past missing posts.

Ditto.

Me too. 'Tritto?'

Me too, Quadrotto (?!?) But the OP was asking about web-based usenet and I must admit there are some times when Novabbs (requiescat in pace) was really useful because I couldn't easily access a news server at that particular time.

But it's not web access is it? That's what the OP was after.

Not really. It's Italian for 'what he said'

Well, even so, as a made-up word, it's no less sensible than some of the stuff that was added to the Cambridge dictionary recently!

No argument with that!

If you watch 'Rob words' or Rob and Jesse Zafarris' 'words unravelled' on you tube, the progression from original word meaning to how its pronounced and spelled and irts current meaning is long and tortuous...

Ironic - a reply to a 13 year old post :-)

ok I will put a link back in the web section of newsgroup access tips.

Quinto - I was wondering when someone would spot the "web access" requirement :-)

(I use ES as well)

As I said earlier, dunno. Don't keep up to date with these type of things. Did find -
