Access denied from Germany?

[Roger Zimmermann]

A friend of mine is trying since some weeks to consult the AACA forum, without success. He can log into the AACA site, but when he want to see the forum, he is getting the attached notification. Is a problem from his side or from the AACA side?

They blocked Germany due to some persistant spanners. I suggest sending a message to the support system.

We are trying to find a solution that does not get us in a jam again.  In the hands of our software company.

There are a couple of diesel engine programmers in Germany who can probably get you in.

 

They might be looking for work.

You could use a VPN service to pop out in another country and then access the site from there.

I use Private Internet Access VPN whenever I am online to help protect my PC when I am on the web.

They have servers all over the world you can connect to and then you will have an IP address from that location and not your physical location.

I can vouch for Zepher’s solution. When I travel in Russia, another of the AACA geo-blocked locations, using a VPN connection to a server in an unblocked country works perfectly for me. Hemmings website is equally accessible using this method.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will pass them to Hans.
