Anti-Virus thing preventing me from accessing Omnimaga from my Android device
« on: July 27, 2013, 07:53:46 am »
Well basically, yesterday, everything worked well, I was able to browse Omnimaga from my Android.
And today, when I try to browse Omnimaga, I get that (see screenshot in attachement).
Why and what should I do ?

I know there are "answers" to that at the bottom of the page, but they are a bit meh.

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

looks to me like a cloudfalre issue due to "anti-virus.cloudflare.com".
Does everything work fine after entering the captcha?

If you're 100% sure your phone is clean, then it's probably due to your provider using "burned" IPs. Happens very quite often these days, especially with mobile connections. Providers simply don't have any good IPs left, so they quickly recycle ones that have been used for malicious purposes before, without even bothering to whitelist them with the various anti-spam agencies.

Nope, writing the captcha just leads again to that page (with a new captcha to enter).

(My android device is not a phone, but it is not important)
So that means that if I try again tomorrow or so, that will work again ?

edit apparently it was the problem raised by Utz. I disconnected from WiFi for a few minutes, then reconnected, was given another IP (I guess) and now everything works. Thanks for the answers.

Yeah that happened to flyingfisch a while ago too. It's a spambot protection and your IP was most likely used by a spambot before. I even saw forum specific bans getting triggered due to people getting the same IP before.

Yep, and the day after tomorrow, it will stop working again. The only thing you can do is use IPv6, if your provider offers it.
