I often get geoblocked on websites these days, even without a VPN. Think HK is on the naughty IP list.

I discovered recently that you can't book tickets on Easyjet.com from HK, you have to use a VPN to access the website.

FYI - Lately I have been geoblocked about 2/3 of the time when trying to view classified ads. This is from addresses in the 143.89.*.* range, which is the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Sometime refreshing will fix the issue. Sometimes not and I close the browser window and move on. I am going to the ads directly from links in the RSS feed.

Can you PM me your RAY ID when you see the blocked page? I cannot search partial IP addresses and do not find any thing for HKUST addresses. May be they're routing through a security provider which might be tagging you as a bot ...

When I was in Belgium I couldn't access Geoexpat, strange... Had to use a VPN. This was in May 2021...

I get blocked when using Apple's "Private Relay" feature, every so often.

ASNumber or ray id please.. many of the UK blocks are related to subnets used by Nigerian scammers.

This is the public wifi inside the data center.

Sorry I don't have any info, when ware blocked we can't report, when we plug back into non blocked internet, the page refreshes and the site loads, loosing the info you want. Maybe that needs rethinking.
