Sheeple
Yeah, I am sure, OD blocked most of the world. Try it yourself. Try access this site via a proxy outside of the US, see how far you get.
Funny how it just so happened to coincide with the oh corona… But whatever, we live our little lives, we tell our little tales. We take the blue pill today, we take the red pill tomorrow but above all we still believe we live in a free world…
UK user right here. Via NordVPN. OD was accessible for me in:
Sweden
France
Hong Kong
Germany
Switzerland
Singapore
In the Netherlands I got a Wordfence rate limiting error message. I doubt there’s anything shady going on here. Looks to me like the Wordfence plugin is detecting large amounts of traffic from proxy sources and blocking them because the plugin hasn’t been configured to allow that type of traffic profile.
@mrroflcopter Okay. recently switched to t-mobile, not sure if this caused the problem. Maybe I am just paranoid but this has been the situation for a few months. I tried some free proxy servers and they mostly failed. Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

The blocking that we have in place is set up to specifically block specific networks and locations that we get high volumes of spam or threatening traffic from. What and who is blocked changes all the time, but it is only there to protect the site from various attacks.
According to our calculations, we are blocking less than 10% of the locations in the world – but if you are having trouble accessing the site, please let Support know through the link at the bottom of the page, and let them know what your location is. They can whitelist particular users, IPs, or locations so that you won’t be blocked.
Thanks!

Oh sorry, should also add – if you are using proxy servers through third-party services – those proxy services often serve as attack vectors for spam or suspicious traffic, so they often end up blocked. In any case, let Support know and they should be able to help you out.
