I got a bunch last night, but nothing this morning.

I'd be interested in what you found.

It had to do with a banlist that I put up years ago and a list of IPs that our cloud-server is using to help serve the pages...

Turns out the list they gave me wasn't fully accurate and a couple of those IPs must have been banned in the past so if any of us randomly received one of the banned IPs (I think it was probably only like 1 or possible 2 ips actually banned) it would give you a 403.

But then if you refreshed, you'd most likely get a new IP, and get the info.

A usual case of just not having all the info and assuming it had to be something else.

Interesting. Thank you. We've run into something similar, where IP had a "bad reputation" for having sites that served malware and such. The IP is used by many websites other than the one site that gave the reputation.

Haven't experienced the issue in quite awhile... thinking that it is 'fixed'. :thumbsup:
