Same with their forums, I can’t guess as to why other than NextDNS and the UBlock Origin Light for Safari? I literally boringly lurk and haven’t posted a thing. 🤔

    Scroll down that page a bit and you’ll see the message at the bottom stating it’s Cloudflare.

    Site owners can configure cloudflare to block half the world if they want to, as they appear to have done here.

      You’re right, it was hidden at the bottom. Is it worth mentioning to the site or will it mostly go ignored? Is there a way to bypass this issue, short of disabling the VPN.

        …well the owner of this website is a known twat so that tracks. That’s why so many competing rom hack websites all appeared suddenly after their last drama I don’t feel like getting into, anyways you’ll get ignored.

        Edit: I should list the better ones.

          lol I suppose that summary explains everything then, I appreciate the blunt honesty. So I’ll check out the other sites from now on, glad to hear there’s healthy competition! Thanks again.

        Normally I get around it by using Tor browser which works 95% of the time since it’s a totally normal-looking web browser — but here they’ve got the settings turned up so high that not even that works. It’s unusual enough that it probably wasn’t an accident, so telling them about it probably won’t help.
