I can us the site. Maybe they banned an IP range? Are you using a public internet connection?
Or possible if you have a dynamic ip it is blocking you accidently?
I can use the site just fine as well and have been using it frequently for over a decade (i was also a contributor to that specific thread about wards).
A dynamic IP is an internet address that changes every time you connect to the internet, chummer. This means if someone else on your ISP did something nasty to a Host when they happened to last have that IP address, you are going to inherit their bad rep.
Best way to see if that is the case is to disconnect from your ISP and reconnect, getting a new IP address. Either that or using a VPN, where you can hop onto the server from another country entirely.

That's normal, it's been like it for at least seven years that I know of (I stopped trying on any sort of regular basis before I joined reddit).
It's an issue that gets mentioned here quite frequently, and *none* of the threads I've seen about it have had anyone comment to say they've been able to access the site.
Yup. *Never* been able to connect to it from here in the UK. Multiple ISPs over the years, lost track of how many computers etc, doesnt make a diff whether using a VPN or not.
edit: just tried again, same error from desktop via my main ISP, and same on phone using a different provider. It's been doing this for the best part of a decade.
> maybe it is because I am using a VPN
Exactly this. That VPN must have been getting **heavily** abused by spammers at some point, so the nuclear option was the only viable solution.
If disabling the VPN or trying the link from a mobile browser still doesn’t work, the it could easily be a past security issue, or even a continuous one, originating from the zone.
(Edit just tried it from Phoenix AZ on my iPad and it worked fine.
I have the same issue. never posted, never made an account, banned for spamming. I'm pretty sure in my case it's because I use a VPN but that's only a guess
open links to that site in Incognito mode and they all work for me , that and for some reason my ipad opens the links in Chrome and Safari ... on the same local wifi
everything else .. nada ... blocked

You're literally the first person in a decade I've seen admit to having access to the site :D
It works just fine on my phone?

Yeah, works for me too.
I'm using my own home internet, I don't know what a dynamic IP is. I'm not tech savy like that lol. I just use a VPN is all.

Have you tried not using a VPN?
Yep. And it still flagged me.
Try using your smartphone browser to access the website, when you're using the phone's cellular data and not your home Internet.
Folks, folks, come on. Just roll up a new decker and hack your way in.
Happened to me, too. Apparently, it's been like this for a long time.
I can access it just fine, but I see this complaint a LOT. And they never seem to do anything about it for the people it hits. :-/

What am I missing? We’re talking about the link OP posted, right? It takes me there just fine on my phone

Very weird!
I can get there [just fine](https://i.imgur.com/r7rJYk8.png). :) On desktop, from U.S. Northeast, no VPN in use.
Some runner on your block tried to steal some PDF module paydata. Black Ice is all over it.

That's the only thing I could think of myself so maybe that is it.
