Post by CHGiffen »

I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error now when I try to go to cpdl.org ... is something wrong?

You may be using one of the IP addresses within the ranges that I had to blacklist during the last DDOS attack. Which IP address are you using? You can get it from this URL. I can then remove the blacklisting for that range.

The site was working again late last night. My IP address is: 24.118.171.28
Anyway, no problems now!
Thanks, Max.

Chuck, your IP address is not in any blacklisted range, so the reason may be different. I may analyze the logs, however logs are huge and it may require some time. Let's see whether it happens again.

Sounds good enough to me, Max. I was afraid the wiki was down for everyone.

Best wishes,

For the last 10 days or so I've been getting the 403 Forbidden msg.

My IP address is: IPv4: 173.67.23.33

I hope that's fixable.

John Carley. Your IP address is not on the banned IP list. Not sure what the problem is.

Can you suggest anything I can try to fix it, or to help you figure it out?

I'm afraid that your IP address was in the list of blacklisted addresses indeed. Chuck may have overlooked it as the list is long and spanning multiple pages, and your address was not immediately visible in the list.

I've now removed your address from the blacklist. Could you please try to access again?
