They apparently blocked Mullvad using Cloudflare? I can’t access it at all. I’ve literally never seen a complete block like this before on any website – at worst I’d get a captcha.

I stopped trying after NY, Chicago and LA which were all blocked. At this point their defenses are more aggressive than my bank.

They aren’t protecting state secrets.

Tried Mullvad for this :

  • Germany - fine
  • Greece - blocked
  • Finland - blocked
  • Hungary - fine

I guess it’s YMMV.

They aren’t protecting state secrets.

They’re probably worried and with forums abuse this is quite fair.

Thank you for sharing that. I’ve been aware of Bikeforums, and they come up a lot during searches, but I’ll be signing up shortly. They really do have EVERYTHING you could possibly ask for in bike-related topics.

Bookmarked. Thanks.

Though I’ll have to try later some other time, I guess Tor users are blocked :
