Website all of a sudden blocked

Lotus

I got this message on a website that I use and is known to be legit. Error 16 Blocked by our Security Service.

Hello @Lotus,

It sounds like the website you are trying to access has blocked your request, possibly because of your IP address, or maybe a firewall they use. Also, if you've made too many requests in a short period of time, the security service may interpret this as suspicious and block further requests to protect the server from overload.

This type of block can also happen if the security protocols used by your browser or device are outdated, this may cause the security service to reject your request. Are you using a VPN connection by any chance? Some websites block access from known VPNs or proxies to prevent abuse or unauthorized access.

As you can see, there can be multiple reasons behind this block, so I think you can try a couple of things and see if they work. First, if you're using a VPN or proxy, try disabling it and accessing the website again. Then clear your browser's cache and cookies and refresh the website. Ensure your browser is up to date, and that you're using a modern, secure connection method and try to access the website from a different network to see if the block is related to your IP address. I cannot guarantee the above steps will make a difference, as I can't possibly know the exact reason behind the block, but these are worth trying in this scenario.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Alex
