Sucuri blocking many websites

[loopy123 3]

I have run the test and found others likely have the same problem due to Sucuri's "BLACK02" blacklisting.

See route report here

https://airvpn.org/routes/?q=https%3A%2F%2Flabs.sucuri.net%2Fsignatures%2Fwaf%2Fblack02-blacklisted-ip-address%2F

and browser from denied sites:

I too have found more and more websites using Sucuri firewall blocking most GA and a rotating assortment of Florida servers . 
Wells Fargo Bank blocks Pollux

Get the same page as loopy32 displayed with either a backlist01 or 02

I've found this as well.  I don't have an example on the top of my head right now, but I remember seeing Sucuri's block screen frequently recently.

Same here. A lot more websites are now inaccessible due to Sucuri. Some will display a "Access Denied - Sucuri Website Firewall" message, with some details and a link to open a support ticket, but most websites will just timeout.

Is there anything that can be done about this? Would it make sense for Air to contact them (Sucuri) directly?

Unfortunately this is having a big impact, and I now cannot access a number of websites I must regularly use.

This is the only page i can reach about sucuri ip block. i can't even reach their docs. I tried to write a message but they told me to reach to web site owner. In this case my website was linuxmint.com but i also mentioned i can't reach their website docs. they didn't respond it. For now there is nothing to do i guess. still searching and i will share my results if i can find a solution.

[MrRandom 5]

Same here. I was try it get Linux Mint to install on an old laptop and I get the same error on that site. I'm currently on the Ursa server in the United States.

Sucuri Firewall is a sponsor of Linux Mint.

Good luck with hoping Linux Mint would switch off the Sucuri Firewall for their website...

But perhaps AirVPN could help?

If they could, the should, because Linux Mint OS is used by millions of users.

[Tubular 1]

Extremely annoying that Sucuri is blocking my access to linuxmintDOTcom and blog.linuxmintDOTcom. Sometimes if I change AirVPN servers I can reach them, but it's a needless frustration.

Same here.  Two recent examples are Soto Outdoors (camping stoves) and This View of Life (philosophy).

I believe Go Daddy is now rebranding Sucuri as its own service.

Stupid typo.

Also, https://conversationalist.org/

Grrr.  I've tried many of AirVPNs servers, it doesn't seem like any US servers are not on the blocklist.  Worse, AirVPN's own routes tool doesn't seem to work, it shows HTTP as working.

[Staff 9270]

@McFly

The route tool works, it returns a green token because it gets 200 (OK) from the final web server, and that's true. But the landing page is served by the Sucuri Firewall as a courtesy block page. Our IP addresses are not in the main black lists around, but there are hundreds of black lists around, we will try to understand which one Sucuri uses (maybe a proprietary one).

Kind regards
 

[McFly 2]

Well, the routes tool "works" in the sense that receives the "OK" from the server.  It does not work as a tool to figure out which Air VPN server I can switch to in order to bypass Sucuri.  I'm thus left flailing in the dark. 

Add Linux Mint's help forums to the list.  That's my distro, dammit! 🙂

I'm not mad at AirVPN, I'm mad at Sucuri for blocking lots of legitimate traffic and being opaque and unresponsive about it.  Jerks. 
Thanks for any help.

"courtesy block page" 🤣
But a discourtesy to us.

Mine, too. It's infuriating!
If you use Startpage search engine, you can first search for the blog, then use the "Anonymous" option to link to it, which bypasses Sucuri's BS.
