[Solved] 403 Forbidden nginx

Hello,

I recently bought a sub for a VPN on PIA yesterday and I am getting an error when I'm browsing on bunsenlabs, I get a 403 Forbidden. But I can access the site when its turned off.

Is this blocked? For like spam activity?

Thanks!

I don't know about blocked, I use a VPN regularly through work, that pops out my location from various places, and I haven't seen any issues from the BunsenLabs server side.  Perhaps my VPN is a bit less intrusive than yours though.
Do you have the ability to choose your 'emerging location'?  Have you noticed it working from one location but not another?  I'm assuming you're using linux when you're browsing here correct? No other sites are affected?

I felt stupid, its now working. I tried it before and gives me that error but after logging in on the site, it now allows me to use the VPN as well as if I log out. The error went away. Yay!

Yes, I am using bunsenlabs.

I read something about OVH is blocked due to spam activities on other sites.

Edit: I actually have no idea what happened.

I also tried it again today, its giving me 403 error on the first visit but after the VPN is turned off it allowed me to login. Well most likely it is tagged as spam, its good to know.

Now its giving me 403 regardless if I'm login or not as long as the VPN is turned on. I guess I have to find a different VPN hosting and cancel my current one.

PIA is private internet access vpn hosting, that is really the company name.

Perfect. I actually dropped my sub on PIA and now using DigitalOcean. This is great. Thanks!
