Access to the website via Proxy is not allowed

[n25an]

Original error
Access to the website via Proxy is not allowed (Disable Browser Data Compression if you have it enabled)

the service on the website was wpguard

(WP Guard - Security, Firewall & Anti-Spam plugin for WordPress )

I got this error while trying to access a couple of websites today... ( nothing bad... just business and a couple of asian information sites)

I have an at&t wifi u-verse box and a wifi dlink repeater...

this error occurred when using the dlink repeater from all browsers on my pc...

when I switched to the direct u-verse box the errors did not occur...
(no issues with the dlink till now)

I fixed the issue by going straight through the wifi u-verse box...

my questions...
why did that work???
has anyone ever faced an issue where a wifi repeater triggered a proxy warning to block a site...???
has anyone ever faced this kind of proxy warning on a customers network and how did they handle it???
could this mean that the dlink is going bad or needs to be rebooted???
could this cause issues with printing and scanning???

Try a firmware update for the D-Link, if possible. Is it a repeater or a range extender? I've seen some odd issues with range extenders in the past where they will alter the traffic down to the point of altering the MAC address of devices connected to them. It's possible the websites are seeing the modified traffic in some way.

To bypass a proxy server restriction you will need to follow these steps. Double-click the internet explorer icon on your desktop and select Internet Options from the Tools menu. The browser displays the Internet Options dialog box, clicks the connections tab, clicks LAN settings, selects the bypass proxy server for local addresses check box, and at the end click advanced. If it doesn't work then the problem can be caused by a bad proxy server. For more information, you can look at help.proxies.com.

Access to the website via Proxy is not allowed can occur with some government and other high security sites when you use web VPN services that act as a Proxy server to hide your computer's true identification and location.

Perhaps you just need to change your proxy provider, or find out in more detail what the problem might be. In general, my proxy service is now coping with all tasks, and you can read about it here in storm proxies review

Many website creators face similar problems. Do not forget about the right choice of hosting provider. Your situation may be related to the reliability of the provider. If you want to hear my advice, then for you a good solution would be either Kinsta or LiquidWeb, about which said here . They have disadvantages, but the advantages are much more.
