You'll need to try another VPN or disable it. The network team has blocked some due to the amount of abuse that has came from them.

Okay, I changed to a different server within USA, and it works now.

This is happening again. Now, on my phone, using same VPN and same server it works fine. So, something in Windows 10 or your site is flagging me for something. Not sure what.
Cache is cleared. Nord VPN had me change settings. Not trying to hack, just dont know what is happening all of a sudden.
Do you have IT tech support?

Please post the exact error message you're receiving. The block does not occur at the device level. It's at the network level. So it's not specifically targeting "Windows 10" or you. I'm guessing you're not actually using the same network or VPN between your phone and your Windows 10 device or the same error would be present. Again, because the block occurs at the network level. The block is in place because it was used in previous incidents to disrupt the sites within the CorvetteForum network. This is not targeting you, specifically, but you're trying to use a shared VPN that was previously identified as abusing the network. Therefore, you're experiencing this issue.

Regarding IT tech support, we can only provide (reasonable) assistance with using the site and that is via this Help section.

Yes, that is a blocked VPN and is under the same VPN you originally posted about on 8/23/21.

Well, I refresh the page and sometimes it comes back, or a few minutes later. Just odd. I have gone through Nord VPN chat and tried different servers. They cant figure it out...
Apparently, someone used NORD VPN service and did some stuff corvetteforum didnt care for.
