VPN blocked by forum.prusa3d.com?
The forum worked fine from behind a VPN for the first few months, then a few days ago the forum is not available from within my normal VPN, I can still use the tor browser to access the forum, it also works fine if I don’t use the VPN. Are others seeing this or do I have a local problem with my VPN being blocked.

Thanks, it turns out that I can access via some VPNs but not one specific VPN provider, I will continue debugging that specific provider.

it's probably cloudflare blocking certain vpn endpoints
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

In my case NordVPN is the one giving me issues, CloudFlare works, so does the TOR network with an onion VPN. I registered an issue with NordVPN to check from their end, if nothing else work I will just need to set up a split tunneling exception for this forum and connect via the TOR network.

This is not uncommon but usually temporary.
If website security software detects an attack from one particular source it may block that ip address, often this is a single malicious user or a compromised machine being used a relay - but if an attack is sent through a VPN then it's the local VPN node that's blocked ... unfortunately genuine users using the same node get caught in the crossfire.
Cheerio,

I had the same problem with Nord VPN these days. In my case it was the thread protection feature causing trouble. Deactivating it helped and everything is working again.

You should be able to report such IPs to the VPN provider and they can try to talk with other companies to clean it off, sometimes it happens.

Cheerio,
I have a personal ip service so others should not use it, but likely my VPN provider has a whole range of ips, if the range is blocked I still get caught in that mess, that is the downside of using VPNs.

Yes, I have reported it to my VPN provider, not much more I can do unless I set up split tunneling exceptions, I may end up there in the end.

I turns out NordVPN has a security feature that blocks malicious websites, since a few days this forum is blacklisted. Luckily that feature can be turned off. Now things work again.
