"403 Forbidden" is the message I get Any advice? Apologies for this. On Saturday we detected an attempted brute force attack on our site. The source was via 1000's of unique IP addresses all using VPN providers. As a temporary mitigation/precaution we've had to block all access via VPN. If you use a static IP address you're welcome to DM it to me and we can whitelist it in the interim. gerriemtb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will message you when/if that changes. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikkelz Posted July 24, 2023 Share Same. And I have to use a VPN at work. So obviously I didn't do any work today! 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 24, 2023 Share My work VPN didn’t affect accessing this site over the weekend, but using NordVPN did. It’s not the end of the world, for me, but rather an opportunity to give it a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
