403 forbidden

[o2dependant]

Hey just to let you know.

Iwas getting 403 forbidden error message throughout the past week Whilst I was in Khoa Lak

I tried from multiple devices and computers (4) in different coffee shops and hotels all with the same results.

I'm not sure if its down to an ISP blocking you or what? But maybe something to look at. Especially for peeps to and fro the Similans

Yes... this is a known thing. Also, this is something beyond my control.

There are a few ISP's in Thailand that have SB Blocked.

There is no apparent reason, perhaps they have an entire range of IPs blocked that include ours.

People who report this via email or otherwise additionally report that using a proxy server or other device (mobile device) results in ability to view the forum. The only conclusion is that certain ISP's have us blocked. We are not blacklisted anywhere, so there's not much I can do.

I'm getting this error message when I try and access the board from my new iPad, but all my other my mobile devices are fine. This is so with both tapatalk and safari. What can I do to fix this?

^Also, I'm in Australia not Asia so it's not that particular issue but same error.

The only reason you'd get a 403 error is because of network rules from your internet provider.

My Internet provider is the same for all my devices yet it is blocking only one...

Your mobile phone is on the same network as your iPad?

Error 403 is not an error from ScubaBoard, but from somewhere on your network preventing access.

All through the same provider, I will contact them and see what gives. Thanks.
