Hi there,

Was off for a couple of weeks on a motorcycle tour and now that I'm back, I can no longer access the World from Europe (Switzerland). I am able to write this because I am currently logged into a US-based VPN. Other VPNs located outside the US don't work either... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) I can't stay on this all the time because I need to be 'local' for a bunch of other stuff. This has been going on for several days now.

The message I get is:
403 Forbidden Access is Denied
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied


I know we've been having various kinds of DDoS attacks recently but something on defense changed in the last couple of weeks and legitimate (paid) users (me in any case) are now being screened out. HELP!

@chmillman
Most of Europe should be back now.

However, there are still some pretty big (European) VPN endpoint blocks in place. So again, if you happen to be near one of those endpoints, you may still be blocked even if you don't use a VPN.
