"Site Unavailable" screen from TMC - why?

[Nostromo]

I've been following this forum for years now, and I recently moved to a new home only served by AT&T DSL service. Probably not coincidentally, I now am often greeted by the "Site temporarily unavailable" screen which indicates I've been blocked by some sort of security service that the forum uses. If I browse from my phone at the same time, I can access the site no problem. Anyone encountered this? It's very annoying. I'd post a screenshot, but it's not doing it now. It seems to be prone to this during the day and not in the evening. I never saw this with my old ISP.

Are you seeing that issue with any other websites?

No I haven’t. A difference I just noticed is the IP address it says I’m browsing from is an IPV6 address whereas I used to be assigned an IPV4 address. Here is the message text (I’m leaving out the animated robot and I also concealed my actual IP address):

OOPS!!

Looks like Tesla Motors Club is temporarily unavailable. Please wait a
few seconds and try again.

I think the issue is our CDN trying to block bots. It seems a few "human" users trigger a false positive that may from some suspicious network activity or perhaps your IP has a bad reputation for some reason.

Several times today, I have gotten an OOPS message with a robot that falls over and a notice saying something to the effect that I am being blocked because the site thinks I might be a bad actor. The only way it gets fixed is if I reboot my ipad and pick a different VPN gateway; manually selecting a different gateway w/o rebooting doesn’t work. Any ideas why this is occurring? I use PIA VPN service and I’m routing through US gateways.

Thanks.

I’ve been getting the exact same thing on my iPad with the chrome browser for a few days now.
is there any way to fix this?

I’m the same. iPad using chrome. Works fine on the same iPad, same connection through safari. its also now introduced a captcha of some sort where you need to pick pictures of trucks. that doesn’t work either.
