Why can we not reach talkchess.com from Germany? I get this message:

Re: Forbidden
I can confirm this situation, from few days access is forbidden.
I changed my ip (my provider allows it just by reset router) but it didn't help at all. It looks like many (all?) ip's from Poland were blocked for unknown reason, I don't have such problems on any other site or forum.
Now Im using vpn with UK ip, it works (like one from USA), but what's interesting - vpn's from many other countries don't.
I find it annoying, it won't help if I send my Polish ip to admin for unblock, because my ip changes itself from time to time anyway.
I think that something should be done from the top down, because it isn't normal behavior for international forum like this one.

Re: Forbidden
Seems that all IP from France are banned also, even IP from 4G mobile !
Also tried a Canadian or German proxy without success.
Writing here using a proxy from the USA.

Re: Forbidden
Canada? It is more libertarian than Germany thanking to Trudeau and co.
When Trump got power as President lot of leftist American moved to Canada fearing from the right-side power without establishing.
