Hi all, I am having trouble with using the OzBargain search function or even posting comments in 'deal posts' whilst using NordVPN (connected to one of their Australian servers).
I get the following error:
403 Access Denied
You do not have permission to access this page.
Reason: IP Address Blocked
Has anyone encountered this before, and is there a way to fix it?
Edit: I wasn't able to post this either until I switched off VPN. Also, I can browse the entire website just fine.
Use Talk with a Moderator feature in the forums
Maybe some yobbo was doing something dodgy with that IP on Ozbargain earlier?
Most likely yes.
OP next time just contact us and tell us the IP address, we can usually unblock it, as long as it the IP used maliciously recently.
Talk to the moderator, or talk to NornVPN support
Thanks all. Tried Nord's 'recommended server' utility and every server it recommended had the same issue. Finally managed to get hold of a human via their online chat, and the server they gave me now works well!
Yes, Just switch servers and use another state.
