Blocked on cellphone

[Dirtymind]

I get a 403 error when I try to browse the board via Chrome on cellphone. Weird thing is...if I connect with pc on the same wifi connection, I can browse the site.

403 Permission denied
Sorry, we're blocking hacking attempts, and that includes all access from 'server farms' that don't follow up on internet abuse reports. If you're trying to come through a proxy hosted on one of these malicious server farms then you'll have to choose a different proxy on a server that does respect the rules.

That's the message I get when I need to access KB through Google.

Johnny, I have a FREAKING ENORMOUS list of blocked IP addresses, typically server farms that have repeatedly tried to hack the forum.  That list is years old, and blocks of IP addresses are sold or moved to other purposes all the time.

While on your phone, put in http://whatismyip.com and send me a PM with the address that it returns.  I'll look up the (new) address range and unblock it.  Again, ON YOUR PHONE, and SEND ME A PM later when you're at home.  I need the address of the rotary but I don't want your location broadcast in an open reply.

One of the server farms I'd blocked undoubtedly sold a bunch of their IP addresses to a cellphone gateway.  It's easy enough to unblock if I know the address range of the rotary.

I'll send ya a PM in case you miss this message.  I'm posting out here in case other folks have a problem.  Yep, there's a way to fix it.

There is another possibility, some mobile phone companies have an adult filter, Vodafone in England for instance. Its easy to get it unblocked by contacting the company and declaring your adult status.

I fixed him up.  I don't know what that CIDR used to be, but now it's owned by Google and is used for a freaking enormous proxy server.
