@peters @Cyprian

My best suggestion is to contact @1024MAK as he's suggested if you are unable to get onto Atari-Forum through any other method such as VPN.

Interesting, it worked this morning, but is giving me the 403 forbidden again now. Amusingly, it seems the opposite is true of what you'd think it should do. One would think a VPN or ever changing IP from a mobile phone would block you... but I'm being blocked from my Fiber, which hasn't changed IPs in quite some time... if ever.

Well, until now I've not had any problems getting in to the site (using WiFi at home on my mobile or laptop) but as of this afternoon I'm getting connection refused...
It was working last night, I couldn't check this morning due to collecting my daughter from uni.

I'll try from a wired (fibre) connection later but that is the same router as the WiFi...

Well I have just lost connection again and need to use a VPN to connect.

EDIT - As of this morning, 14th June all my access is back to normal.
