No access to the wiki
« on: January 20, 2025, 10:44:55 am »
There is no access to the wiki for about a week, the browser says "The connection has timed out" for wiki.freepascal.org and wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org.

About a week ago I tried to register on the wiki to add a dark theme for Lazarus (from here https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/39468), but at the last step the registration failed (see attachment).

I suspect that the antispam bot is falsely triggered and a ban by IP occurs.

I just tried both and had no problem getting to the page using those urls.
(FPC v3.0.4 and Lazarus 1.8.2) or (FPC v3.2.2 and Lazarus v3.2) on Windows 7 SP1 64bit.

First, you must try to register a new account to trigger the antispam bot.

Try a different browser. Maybe Opera interfears.
There are no connection issues with the wiki.
As far as I know the wiki also does not use tunneling, just tls, so that error must come from elsewhere (i.e. from Opera)
Do you use private browsing as default? Or vpn?

But I am sure they don't want the Trumps back...

I already tried Firefox and Opera with different VPN and without. All the time behavior the same: after trying to register it fails and bans my IP.

There is something wrong with antispam bot/settings, please fix it!

I tried and now I have two accounts.... No Problems at all.
But it is possible that your ip('s) belong to a blocked range.
Or that that ip is indeed used for spamming or ddos, maybe without you even knowing.
Try torbrowser: that has a random ip.
I am almost sure the tunneling error does NOT come from the wiki hosting.
Ping Marc, he is the sysop.

Blocked to the new registration, but allowed to the read access?

Firefox says "The connection has timed out" (NS_ERROR_NET_TIMEOUT)

I can't use tor browser too: "Your IP address is listed as an open proxy in the DNSBL used by Lazarus wiki. You cannot create an account."

Not all tor exit points are listed in dnsbl's. Try a couple of times.
Otherwise, ping Marc, but you seem to be the only one who has a problem.

IIRC, recently someone else was complaining about same problem.
