Kadepp Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hello! Since yesterday I cannot download any mod. It ends with "403 Forbidden" (as in the screenshot). As soon as I activate some kind of VPN it starts working again. Is there a thing like getting IP banned? And if yes (obviously), what are the reasons or causes? Just got premium membership, but it still does not work. I would love to get some information on this topic or at least know what rules I have violated. Best regards,Kadepp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 It is safe to say your IP is not banned.One of our moderators should be along shortly, to get you to the right forum.Nexusmods has a help site specifically for connection problems, and for how to get connected to a premium server.Us folks here - we mostly deal with Vortex issues, with the occasional Skyrim problem thrown in.

Kadepp Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Thanks for the quick reponse! That's already nice to hear. But there are some other weird things happening. E.g. my IP address has no quick search on the nexus website. Kicking in a VPN and reloading the exact same website (without cache) and quick search works. Turning VPN off, reloading again and it does work, same search keywords and all that. What the hell is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run into that occasionally, it's most likely the IP address your VPN has randomly assigned you is IP bannedDisconnect from your VPN and reconnect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadepp Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 No no, my IP address is not working. The VPN IPs are working every time, even if I connect to New Zealand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Use the contact us button at the bottom of the page and ask for help there. I get this occasionally as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The answered offered here may not be far off. If you send your IP address to [email protected] (or send me a PM) we can see if it's on a block list for you. If it's blocked by CloudFlare itself there won't be anything we can do about that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadepp Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 If it's blocked by CloudFlare itself there won't be anything we can do about that though. Wouldn't that mean that I could not visit the site at all? There are only some functions blocked, not everything. Today, everything works fine again. Don't really know why, but I take it. Thanks for the suggestions! I also contacted the support, as you mentioned. Maybe it will recur due to cycling IPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
