It seems it was due to VPN , i used nordvpn to access websites blocked outside of france so thats the most likely reason

When i previously used nordvpn to access website through exit points located in another country for a long time , and never had any problem

No i know , will pay attention to this , thanks for feedback

I use a different commercial VPN (that is well suited for use in China). It has around 500 servers (I haven't counted them all though). Some work with FT, while others do not, and I haven't noticed any changes over the past year (i.e. what worked a year ago, still works now and vv).

Do you use a VPN?

BlondeBomber Aug 28, 2024 5:06 pm

no vpn
but I tried both ways with and without vpn
same issue
i seldom use vpn

Well I played around --turned on my VPN (McAfee based), changed it to USA, (I am in Canada) and FT worked. I then turned off VPN and FT still works (fingers crossed)--maybe it cleaned out some "cobwebs".

I get this error every time I try to access the site when I am on my mobile network. I switch to wifi & it works fine.

If you really care (e.g. that's a train you plan on riding a lot), maybe get a VPN and find a server that works.

It's not uncommon for heavily trafficed WiFi public hotspots to end up in lists of IP addresses and netblocks with poor reputation. The fact that you've got the Cloudflare error is an indication of this reputational issue.

Just visiting, but FWIW I do have a VPN -- I run my own at home -- plus, using the wifi isn't compulsory :-) (nor is reading FT :p) but seemed worth registering the data point.

Sure, and while I appreciate the technical problem from IB's side, it still seems amusing in some way for a travel-oriented site to block IPs used by people who are travelling...

Many of IB's websites are not travel related.

I used to ask them to whitelist specific IP addresses or address ranges, but that's quite clearly not in line with their position on this matter.

As such, the path of least resistance is to change to an IP address that isn't blocked.

I agree.

But in my case I still felt the need to report the fact that accessing the site from my country's largest mobile network leads to a Cloudflare error. They don't seem to have done anything about it so I continue to use the VPN.

Just had a series of Cloudflare errors when browsing FT on my iPhone from my home wifi which doesn't seem to have been compromised. Just clicking on a topic in a forum ??!

I will of course be checking with my kids that they're not running some illegal services from my home wifi - if not, anyone any ideas as to why this might be happening? Thanks

I encountered a few new (to me) errors several days ago on my home WiFi. They were pretty benign and disappeared quickly though.
