Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted July 22, 20186 yr 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?
July 22, 20186 yr Management 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.
July 22, 20186 yr Author 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 ?
December 24, 20204 yr 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)
