In checking back periodically to find out if and when I can schedule an appointment for my wife’s passport renewal (see my previous post),

I was surprised to find out their website is blocked (see screen shot). I tried using my cell phone and computer. It didn’t say they were down for maintenance either (see screen shot). Apparently I need to purchase a security plugin called wordfence for $99 annually, and then email the consulate so they can unblock me:

I tried to search for a free version of wordfence, but all I could find is what appeared to be a hacked version of it. Comments or corrections are welcome...

Works ok with me as well.

 

The Philippine Consulate LA site does say that they are full on bookings for passport renewal and that the next batch will start around January 2021. 

The United States is now a country obsessed with the worship of its own ignorance.  Americans are proud of not knowing things.  They have reached a point where ignorance, is an actual virtue.  To reject the advice of experts is to assert autonomy, a way for Americans to insulate their increasingly fragile egos from ever being told they're wrong about anything.  It is a new Declaration of Independence: no longer do we hold these truths to be self-evident, we hold all truths to be self-evident, even the ones that arent true.  All things are knowable and every opinion on any subject is as good as any other.  The fundamental knowledge of the average American is now so low that it has crashed through the floor of "uninformed", passed "misinformed", on the way down, and now plummeting to "aggressively wrong."

I can access PCG LA website just fine using my laptop and my phone.

The LA site also asks states that they will open the e-system for booking renewal of passports on December 15th.

My guess is that you are using a public wifi and someone is hacking that network. The reason I say that is because your screenshot says the website is not secure. Your browser should look like this:

with the padlock. Retype the address spelled out as https://www.philippineconsulatela.org/ - with the https being very important.
