Nope, I was on my home WiFi. I was also on the AA FL WiFi, and then a hotel's guest WiFi. I am admittedly not tech savvy.

Was this also posted from your home WiFi? If not, please PM me your IP address and I'll check it against our list of banned ones.

Yes, it was, but not from my iPhone. I was able to access the site from my iPad and laptop in the same place where I received the message on my iPhone.

I just installed ExpressVPN, a VPN for privacy as recommended by several tech advisor sites.
Suddenly FT is blocked. If I turn off the VPN, then it loads fine. There are threads on FT about recommendations to use a VPN when travelling, and yet FT blocks VPNs from accessing FT?
ExpressVPN's standard US VPN servers are blocked, but other countries' servers aren't. Try the Canadian VPN server.

Sigh...

This seems a little heavy-handed.

Is use of FT via VPN in and of itself generally considered by IB to be an FT TOS violation? I have been assuming it isn't, but I like to make sure about the current status and the validity of my hitherto long-standing assumption.

It is not.

Error 601 Dec 11, 2019 2:27 pm
Why not filter by IP reputation?

I am sure Cloudflare supports that.

IBobi Dec 11, 2019 2:31 pm
We do some of that too.

I sadly get the same error when using my VPN for AS16276 :(
Any chance of getting at least some IPs whitelisted if not the whole AS?

Weird. Same for me. US blocked on top ranked VPN provider, Canada not. Gotta love our neighbors to the north :)

NordVPN and Cloudflare error 1020 (access denied)
 
I've been using NordVPN for over a year now with absolutely no issues with FlyerTalk. Since yesterday, I can no longer access FT using my VPN, I get the message below. I have tried switching locations, but it's always the same result: I now need to deactivate NordVPN to be able to access FT. Any ideas?

Is FT not available from your location? Try without the VPN, obviously.

Yes, in my original post I wrote "I now need to deactivate NordVPN to be able to access FT" ... my issue is that I have been using a VPN for over a year with no problems accessing FT, and suddenly since yesterday I can't access the site with this same VPN. I'd like to understand why.

I use a VPN when I’m trying to use a site that is restricted in the country I’m in, or perhaps if I’m using something that has sensitive data. I guess I don’t get what the need would be for doing that with FT.

I can guess why they are blocking VPN’s, but have no actual first hand knowledge. Likely they are trying to block DOS attacks made through VPNs. Shrug.
