I normally use FireFox and yesterday and today I am greeted with:

"Sorry, you have been blocked

Why have I been blocked?

This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution."

This access via Chrome.

That's strange. Access is being allowed w/Firefox from my Windows laptop.

Are you able to access the site with Firefox on your phone?

I just accessed the site using Firefox from my home and from a remote server without trouble.

Are you using VPN by any chance? If you use a VPN server in a blocked country you could have this problem. Currently Vietnam, Somalia, Russia, Japan and China are blocked through Cloudflare. That's all I can think of.

Access was allowed later today using FireFox. Not using a VPN. Just Murphy's law having a short term go at it. Thanks for the replies.
