403 forbidden?

403 forbidden? - 10/31/14 09:17 PM

When I try to navigate to "www.vaguntrader.com" I get the following message:

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I thought the site was down for maintenance, but I can access at work or via a proxy, so I'm guessing this is an issue the site is having with my IP (or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about). Checked my firewalls, different browsers, cache/cookies, extensions, etc. etc. so they're not the problem.

This has happened before, too, before magically fixing itself. It's been down about a week this time, though. What gives? Thanks for any help.

Admins? Anyone? Using a proxy is only occasionally working now.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I did find a workaround in case anyone else ever needs it:
When I get the 403 error, it's only with "www.vaguntrader.com". If I go directly to "www.vaguntrader.com/forums/ubbthreads.php", all works fine.
Thanks all for looking into it, guess it's just one of those mysteries.
