This ever happen to you?  Went to log into Eros and got a message that it was checking security and next thing I know I got blocked.  Now it says to email the owner and tell them what happened.  No clue who the owner is nor do I understand what the hell happened.  This ever happen and what did you do to resolve it?

I use a VPN that constantly changes the server that the website thinks is asking for the info. Many of the servers are non-US so Forbes and other US businesses get blocked ("We detect that you are located in Poland. Our content is only available to our US customers." kind of stuff.). For two days, I've been getting blocked by Eros and I assumed it was a VPN issue. I guess it's something more substantial than that if so many others are reporting the same thing.

Recall that the US offices of Eros were raided / nabbed by LE a few years ago. Could this be an LE action preliminary to shutting it down completely?

Not sure if it has to do with VPN, but all over twitter. No one can log on.

Don't know but I use a VPN and get access. I do have to jump through the Cloudfare "Are you a robot" hoop but even with that it was just clicking the I'm Human checkbox.

 
Maybe timing of the attempt? IP block?
