Cannot login to IG Markets on the browser platform.

Question

It's been a week and a half now and I still can't login. At first I got the "unexpected error" message but now I get the "Trade as normal while our website is undergoing maintenance" message asking me to use the app. This is not acceptable for me. Tech support are saying it's my Telstra network however the phone app works fine on my network. Every other service (Nabtrade, internet banking, email etc) I use on the network is working fine. Anyone having this issue?

Ok so it looks like Telstra have restricted IG site access through their DNS as part of protecting people from bad sites which I suspect IG is trying to sort out ASAP as their use is legitimate. Telstra support were far from helpful and even said I needed to pay for their platinum service. When I suggested I would report this requirement to the Ombudsman they gave me a one off access but the Platinum team had no knowledge of the issue or how to resolve beyond trying to get me to fill in a security complaint form!

So here was my workaround for a windows 10 PC (no promises it would work for others). 

I went to my computer settings (typing in 'settings' using the magnifying glass in bottom left corner of my computer)
I then Selected 'Network & Internet' then WiFi properties
Scrolled towards the bottom of the page for 'IP settings' 
Took a note of my IPv4 address number and IPv4 gateway number.
Pressed the button to edit the 'IP assignment' and selected 'Manual'
Made IPv4 ON - then 
IPv4 address: added my IPv4 address number I took down before
IPv4 Subnetprefex length: 24
IPv4 gateway: added my IPv4 gateway number I took down before
Preferred DNS: 1.1.1.1
Alternate DNS: 8.8.8.8
Pressed Save

As a final step I cleared the DNS cache through the Run Command prompt by searching for 'Command or CMD' using the magnifying glass in bottom left corner of my computer. This brought up a black screen with C:\users\###> prompt - the ### was my user name (different for each user)
I then typed in after the C:\users\###> the following 
ipconfig /flushdns
(note the space between ipconfig and /flushdns is needed)

I also cleared my cache on my Chrome Browser (three dots) top right and selected Settings/Privacy and Security/Clear Browsing data. Then went into IG and logged in successfully.

Same issue with Telstra - IG have confirmed they are "aware of current issues affecting Australian clients ability to login to the desktop browser version of IG. Afflicted clients have been noted to have Telstra as their ISP provider. Our I.T specialist department is currently working to resolve the login issue with Telstra at the highest priority." They also said one client had contacted Telstra directly to change some ISP settings to resolve it - so next step is to have fun contacting Telstra. Will share if there is a fix this way....

I have been having the same problem logging in since September 2. But I don't believe it's only Telstra problem anymore, because myIG and View Full History are not working either and it's a big problem to deposit or withdraw money.  And I don't understand why IG is not taking action to fix these problems. It could take legal action against Telstra if indeed Telstra is the problem.

I am also having the same problem for soem weeks. I can login using Telstra as ISP sometimes but not all the time. Also when I managed to log in I can see some data, eg Position Statement  but can't access the History page etc.  I brought this to the attention of IG tech team but it appears it has not been resolved yet. They cannot explain how I can access the account using Telstra on some days/times if they have restricted IG clients accessing the IG Website. It appears IG Markets not doing much to sort out this issue. I was told to get another ISP !!

2 SOLUTIONS:

1) Bliz_23 solution worked for me.

2) Switch to Telstra Mobile instead of Telstra NBN (unplug your NBN cable).

I have been unable to login on Telstra home NBN for a few weeks now. If I unplug the NBN cable, my Telstra Gateway switches to Telstra Mobile, and that works - I can login. But Bliz_23 solution also works, changing your DNS. I am surprised that Google DNS 8.8.8.8 does not work, I have been using that for many years, I never use the ISP DNS. And I never use my router as the DNS, because router DNS often fails and can be subject to Man In The Middle attacks.

    • WTI Elliott Wave Analysis WTI Crude Oil is breaking out of a 15-month period of sideways, choppy price action and appears poised to make a new low, potentially reaching levels unseen since late 2021. This breakout is part of a broader long-term bearish phase that began in March 2022, when WTI peaked near $131. As the bearish trend resumes, the question arises: how low can this leg of the decline reach?   Long-Term Chart Analysis In the long-term view, WTI entered a bearish corrective phase in May 2022 after reaching $130.91. This corrective phase follows a powerful bullish impulse that began after the COVID-19 crash, which saw oil prices recover sharply to their highest levels since the 2008 global financial crisis. The ongoing bearish correction is unfolding in the form of a double zigzag pattern, a complex Elliott Wave structure commonly seen in extended corrections.   The first leg of this correction, wave W (circled), ended in March 2023 when WTI hit $64.56. Since then, the price action has moved sideways, indicating indecision in the market. However, this period of stagnation culminated in August 2024, when the sideways movement formed a triangle pattern, marking the completion of wave X (circled). The recent breakout from this triangle suggests that the next phase of selling pressure has begun, which could last for several months as the market moves toward the next key support levels.   Daily Chart Analysis On the daily chart, the triangle that formed as part of wave X (circled) was a consolidation pattern, and the breakout confirms the beginning of wave Y (circled), the final leg of the double zigzag correction. The downward momentum is likely to accelerate as wave Y progresses. Traders and analysts will closely monitor the smaller waves that compose wave Y (circled) as they unfold over the coming weeks and months. Given the scale of the correction, WTI could potentially revisit lows around or below $50 as the bearish phase plays out.   H4 Chart Analysis The H4 chart provides further insight into the early stages of this new bearish wave. The breakout structure appears to be an impulsive decline for wave A of (A)/(W) of Y (circled), signaling the start of a new downward leg. After the completion of wave A, the market is likely to experience a corrective bounce for wave B before resuming its decline. This presents an opportunity for short-term and medium-term traders to sell into the bounces, as the broader bearish trend remains intact. The strategy of selling corrective rallies could be particularly effective during this phase, given the strong downward momentum anticipated for wave Y (circled).   In summary, WTI’s breakout from the 15-month consolidation marks the beginning of a renewed bearish phase, likely targeting new lows. The Elliott Wave structure supports further declines, with traders advised to watch for selling opportunities during corrective bounces, as WTI could continue its slide toward levels not seen since 2021.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
