Login error from Brazil

No, there are many members from Brazil that can access the forums from Brazilian ip's.
Are you using a vpn? At times, even in the US, my vpn interferes with my ability to access the forums. I have to change locations.

I wasn't, but you're right, I can access using a VPN with a BR IP address. It seems the problem is my personal IP or ISP instead.
I immediately thought it could be something with the site country-blocking b/c some botnet attack or wtv, so never tried using another BR IP before posting.

Same for me, the forum only opens with a VPN

+1 user from Brazil reporting here:
I haven't been able to access the forums for a while (kept getting error403 access forbidden), and thought it was related to site maintenance, but today I found out on Reddit that other users from my country Brazil were facing the same problem. I then tried using VPN in my game notebook and still got same message. But finally succeeded using VPN on my smartphone. Any idea if this issue will be dealt with?
Thanks in advance

I'm from Brazil and every time I try to access any of the civfanatics forums, I get this error. Using a VPN can solve the problem. Could something have happened to the site? It seems to be related to the IP addresses of a specific region. Has this also happened to anyone else on the forum (from another region)?
I'd like some help with this from someone on staff.
I saw a thread on Reddit about other users (speaking Portuguese, so I assume they're also from Brazil) who also couldn't log in and were experiencing the same error.

I've moved some posts, and I've sent you all a PM requesting your current non-VPN IP, so that I can have a look if these are on the block list or not.
I would guess they got accidentally caught in a spam-blocking dragnet, should be easy to resolve.

Seems fixed for me, everything normal again
Wonderful

The hosts replied yesterday that they indeed put some bans on IP ranges from Brazil, and that they revoked them based on our request. If you still experience issues, then PM me or Leif.
