Nope no vpn

It works fine in Chrome, but they don't like connections from curl:

Therefore I think they are doing some broken matching on the browser type (User-Agent)

It doesn't give great confidence in their technical clue - but then again, many companies outsource their main website to a third party.

It depends on what you define as legitimate usage. Chrome is expected but we're not expecting curl to hit the site and we've got some fairly strict WAF rules in place. I don't think we've had any queries from anyone not being able to do so either; sadly, the checker gets [ab]used frequently by some for bulk and repeated number lookups and this along with other measures are in place to limit that.

just wont accept idnet connection.

I can't spot anything this end.

We've had visits from netblocks assigned to "Infinity Developments", today and others days this week. Most recent being 5:13pm. I can't confirm which blocks though as we don't see that but certainly not a wider issue from Idnet or anything we're applying.

odd i can access the uno speedtest you have in your sig but im not able to access the uno website.
I ran Network Diagnostics and it said my connection is fine, and uno website is not responding.
Strange how its the only site im not able to access ?

Ummm. Thanks.

Unfortunately it didn't do anything strange. I was looking for anything odd in the routing.

i recently switched from fttc to SOGEA and now have a new ip could this affect anything ?

Dunno sorry . Maybe it will to Matt but I doubt if its relevant, though your IP address may be the problem. That was why I asked about a VPN.

I was one of them and am an IDNet FTTC user. Absolutely no issues accessing the web site or the speed test in Matt's signature. I can't ping though.
