This is really strange I have never had a problem accessing the wiki before. I am still unable to access.

There is no issue here (the netherlands)

China? Admins have banned few countries

They could just use Cloudflare, but that would be a disgrace to their dignity, so they simply deny access from huge IP ranges. The "old school" way - iptables DROP China

Aruna is in Canada not China

@Aruna:

you use https, so take a look to the wget Option "nocertificate" - I don't know the exact Option because I have not Linboxed since few years like wget - but I can remember me that the issue can come in foreground with https certs...

Happy getting ...

Hi, everyone to all of you who can access the wiki I am happy for you. I found a work-around I used a vpn and everything is back to normal. But like Joanna said I am in Canada so why block my ip range?

to not be political:
- but Trump seems not like abroud people
- he is concentrate his mind to resources like oil from new place ...

- I could understand Mr. Putin - he is the loser, if the war ends or not.
- but the USA is dissing him ... so no comment ...

Aruna maybe some addresses In Canada were doing naughty things 
Sometimes entire countries are banned.

You might want to ask Jonas Maebe whether your IP got caught in the ban measures due to AI scraping (see here).

I have problems with wiki, too.
Reading is fine, preview does not work, editing... it occurs that it works... sometimes.
I get

Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request

Reason: Error reading from remote server

Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at wiki.freepascal.org Port 443

But it occurs that sometimes, the content is saved, despite the error message, hence I have created some mess in https://wiki.freepascal.org/RichMemo#CaretPos.

A week ago everything was fine.
Tried with two different PCs with different locations, different internet providers and different OSes.

Hello @PascalDragon, I have no idea how to get in touch with Jonas Maebe? Send a PM? I found a work-around everything works if I use a vpn but then it slows down my internet connection drastically. I would prefer if someone can whitelist my ip or whatever it is they do so I have access to the wiki again please?
