Access denied for me in Brazil:

  I got an error when visiting linuxiac.com/opensuse-grows-in-popularity/.

Me too in Tokyo... I always wonder when this happens if sites are overloaded, e.g. from getting slashdotted by HN, or just blocking foreign countries for some weird reason / by accident.

Try again, no issues for me. Could it be a vpn issue. Some sites use something to ban what is believed to be spam IP ranges.

Had the same problem as OP, residential IP. It's apparently Cloudflare blocking me. Doesn't bother me, I'll just find something else to read.

Really, honestly people, PLEASE stop using Cloudflare, I beg you.

Same problem - blocked in Thailand. The site owner probably configured blocking by country.

Blocked from India. the open internet is dead my friend......

I'm in Singapore (residential IP) and this error page is a manually set block by the website owner.

Looks like they just blocked a bunch (all?) of Asian countries from visiting the site. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Usually Cloudflare blocks me all the time, I do not know how I was not blocked this time.

If I see that Cloudflare prompt, I do not care what the site offers, I bail and say "I guess they do not care if I read their site. bye-bye"

And yes, please stop using Cloudflare or thngs like that. If you have a site that does not deal with personal finance logins, there is no reason to use Cloudflare or things like that.

This is not a VPN issue, this is a ban by country I was able to access using VPN from USA, but can't access using my IP (Brazil) also using a VPN located here as well.

Access Denied for me here in India too. Looks like they set up to block by countries.

For something that is boarder line an Ad, why block things. SUSE is based in the EU, I do not think they have crypto export laws that the US had (or maybe still have?).

I doubt they're talking about SUSE blocking them, but the website that was submitted here (linuxiac.com).
