Three mobile internet blocks The Wayback Machine. Does anyone know why or how to get around it?

Thanks,

John

What sort of message or error are your receiving?

This may be the result of our own policies; in recent days we've had to block a number of sources of excessive and unidentified traffic, and it's possible legitimate browsers were also affected.

Did you post this question from the same device having problems accessing the Wayback Machine?

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Whatever was blocking the access has now stopped. I could access www.archive.org without any problems, but not web.archive.org :( I can't recall the exact message.

Cheers,

John

It looks like I may have been caught by this... when I try to log in from home, it lets me log in, but says "Hello [Account: deleted]" instead of my username. And I can't access the archives as I get 403 Denied messages (which is what led me to the forums and trying to log in).

I'm posting from work, and my login and the archives work just fine from here.

I'm a Unix systems administrator, the IP I'm coming from is statically assigned to a server/firewall in my basement, and I really have no clue why anybody would want to block it.

Can you verify for me whether 207.178.110.185 has been blocked and why? Thanks.
