Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
Cyboman Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 During the last weeks, I received a lot of cloudfront failures when trying to connect to the IPS community website. This occurs once a week during the last month and I have never experienced this before. All other websites work without problems. Today again, invisioncommunity.com hasn't been available for several hours, this just happend the last 3-4 hours. But I can see members posting during that time. What is wrong with your cloudfront settings?
Management Charles Posted July 22, 2018 Management Posted July 22, 2018 That error means our firewall is blocking your IP. It's a temporary block and can be caused by connection floods or high error rates from your IP.
Cyboman Posted July 22, 2018 Author Posted July 22, 2018 Thanks, @Charles, for the response. This is the classical case of a poweruser lockout! As I doubt I have a lot of IP errors, the only reason for being blocked is, that I've read in and contributed to the IPS community the whole day ?? I admit, after reading for 16 hours, opening massive amounts of topics, guides, files, refreshing contents, responding to posts and having an active messenger inbox, this might have led to a block of my IP ? It might be of advantage, if you lower the firewall connection block settings, if you don't want to lock out powerusers deeply studying IPS ?
Kjell Iver Johansen Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 I have the same "403 error" when visiting any IPS site. It has been like this for several days. I have a supportticket for this, but there is nothing wrong on their side and nothing wrong with my Ip either they say. Still annoying that I can't visit a lot of forums on my mobile or portable device for several days. (I have only 2 Ips to select from - I'm at sea)
