Access Denied: Error 1020

[thecontrolcentre]

I tried to visit KVR today on my mobile (as usual) but received the message:

"Error 1020
Access Denied

This website is using a securityservice to protect itself from attacks"

Anyone know whats going on?

[Bombadil]

I saw that in the middle of the night, here. Someone trying a DDOS?

[Hink]

I got something that flashed up logging on then went away before I could read it

I had a message saying that my browser was being checked, from Cloudflare, I think. That was about 3 hours ago.

Why have I suddenly started getting a cloudflare browser check page come up when I sign in to kVR? It say wait a moment or something while we check your browser, never had that happen before until yesterday and today.

Nothing here...on my tablet so should be the same as phone (though I'm on home wifi). I was on auto-log in, so I didn't actually sign in...

From the link above:

If you are visiting the site, contact the site owner and let them know that you received the Access denied error and ask them to check their Firewall Rules. Only the owner of the site you’re visiting can tell you why you are unable to access the site.

So for the access denied thing, I guess you have to contact Ben.

I've gotten the Cloudflare "checking your browser" both times I logged in today. It is new.

[elxsound]

Yeah, worried me a bit when I've logged in today, before reading about Cloudflare. It's staying up for a bit on every device I've logged in from.

[thecontrolcentre]

It is new.

It's not working as intended ...

[D.H. Miltz]

I gathered that. That's why I moved the thread to where Ben is more likely to see it. I know nothing about it except what I found via Google.

I have encountered it here and there other sites (the browser check, not the denial of access).

Cheers. I hadn't noticed you'd moved the thread. I was going to post here earlier but I couldn't find it Hopefully Ben will fix things. I can access from my PC but not my smartphone ...

We were hit by a persistent distributed flood of brute force login attempts for a period on Tuesday evening so I've added an additional (automated) check on login and register pages. I also blocked a specific user agent string, an old and pretty much obsolete UA which should have been unlikely to be coming from legitimate users.

However, thecontrolcentre, you phone browser's user agent was caught by this (your phone is pretty niche these days ). I've tweaked the UA block to be more precise.
