403 Forbidden

**BalingDazzer** · 12-19-2009, 08:42 AM

Hey is anyone else getting this problem:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm currently using a proxy to access the forum, but keep getting the error above when trying to access the forum using my home IP.

U might get 502 gateway time out or bad gateway
but I havent got 403 error on this forum ever
plz try to clear your dns cache and then access the forum using your home ip

same here, i have to use a proxy, but i gte this error:
Server not found

Code:

      
        
        

          

Firefox can't find the server at www.blackhatworld.com.

        


        
        


    *   Check the address for typing errors such as
          ww.example.com instead of
          www.example.com

    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.

    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Did this site get hacked or something? Yesterday i tried opening the website, but it kept asking me for permission to open an .exe file

been happening to me from time to time recently. theres talk of a DDOS attack on BHW according to a google search

No BHW has not been hacked.

We currently have REALLY strict firewall rules which is why you are receiving these messages. They will be relaxed as soon as possible.

**BalingDazzer** · 12-21-2009, 08:13 PM

Could I give you my home IP for you to unblock it or something?

not at this point in time, we're aware that there are many ips being blocked and we are slowly unblocking them, we have no specific schedule on when we plan to unblock each mask etc
