The wiki is spitting out 403 errors when attempting to load the page. It’s been happening on both my laptop and my phone, so I’m ruling out anything device-related. Using a VPN didn’t fix it either, but that may be intentional.
While testing with a VPN, I did notice that the IP on the page never changed, and when double checking, it is not actually my IP. Might be a caching problem? The IP that is showing is 2.21.243.16, which is not even close to my actual IP.
I have the exact same issue, with the same IP address shown as in Protune’s image, although I think I’ve found the problem.
I do have my DNS settings set to Google’s (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). After removing this explicit setting and flushing the DNS I was capable to use the wiki again.
Setting the DNS back to Google’s and flushing afterwards gives me a 403 forbidden message again.
Nope. I flushed DNS, changed DNS from default to Google, restarted my PC, and this all occurs both with/without an VPN. My guess is a problem with the cache, cause it’s showing an IP which isn’t mine.
It looks like the DOSArrest service you’re using is blocking Akamai. As some of the previous screenshots and reports have shown, the IP address displayed on the page is not actually the IP address of the person requesting the wiki pages, it is in fact, an IP address which belongs to Akamai.
Looking at my DNS results and other data, it seems that the chain is User => Akamai => Actual wiki server. Where akamai in this case is blocked.
I’d just like to note that having both Akamai and DOSArrest guarding the way to the wiki seems a bit odd to me. Not only because Akamai offers both caching services and DDoS protection, as DOSArrest provides those services too.
