I tried several times to get onto this website over the past hour but kept getting a message that the U.S. was blocked due to high incidents of fraudulent activity. I was NOT using a VPN.
@JohnR1972 I believe the last time this happened, it was something with site coding and an update on Apple phones? Lemme see if I can find the thread.
But in the meantime... @Mark
Maybe this? https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/forum/discussion/comment/382455/#Comment_382455
@cuddlefaery - Thank you! 🙏
@JohnR1972
That particular error message will only show if you're coming from an IP address that is blocked in our firewall. That is usually IP ranges used by VPN type services but can also be other networks that are problematic (e.g. easily abused).
In your case, I suspect it's a privacy feature you've enabled in your DuckDuckGo browser which is essentially routing your traffic through servers VPNs typically use.
You should never see this when coming directly from a domestic broadband provider and IP address.

@Mark Thanks. I was trying to log in directly via Verizon as my carrier without any VPN. I was using the DuckDuckGo browser so that may have been an issue.
