This forum: 403 Forbidden ?
Since today I got
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at www.sciencemadness.org Port 80
Then I connected via a VPN and now it works again, so it probably looks like an IP filter. Since when is censorship op IP address implemented ?

That is not the issue. With https I also get a 403 Forbidden. It has to do with my IP address ? It is a standard EU IP address from my internet
provider, there is no TOR like proxy between it.
With VPN I can also connect without https.

I am afraid only Polverone can give a definite answer to this. None of the other moderators has access at system level (as far as I know). Did the
issue suddenly appear? It worked up to now from the same IP-address? Maybe you received another IP-address from your ISP? I know of some providers
(e.g. Ziggo/Vodaphone in NL) who provide semi-fixed public IPv4-addresses. The address can be the same for many months, even more than a year, but
suddenly, after a reboot of my modem, I get a new IP-address. Such thngs happen sometimes, when the download/uplink speed changes (e.g. either by
taking another contract, or because the provider upgraded and asks/forces you to reboot the modem/router). But even if this occurred, then I still
would not expect an issue with accessing sciencemadness.

I'm getting the same error now. Changing the IP helped for a day, then I was blocked again.
Is this the end? If so, where do we go?

Have you tried clearing the cache?
I have had some issues that only an empty cache or a new profile could solve. Who knows why.

Yes, it had no effect while a new IP address worked. Using a proxy also works.

I think I've found the trigger for this "feature". I was on my phone, trying to dig up the "new threads" page using Firefox's autocomplete. I
accidentally tried to access "https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/viewthread.php" and got the 403 error again.

Funny. That link gives me "Error. The topic you have chosen does not exist."
