ThePirateBay proxy site's IP address banned, giving "403 Forbidden" - givemesomething - Jun 20, 2017

Hi admin,

I run "ThePirateBay proxy" site on my dedicated server.

its been active from last 6-7 months., but today while browsing my "ThePirateBay proxy" site i received

"403 Forbidden

nginx/1.11.2
"

error.

i am using 'nginx reverse proxy' method.
looks like my server's IP address got banned on ThePirateBay.org

When i changed my server IP to another IP, i can browse "ThePirateBay proxy".

so i would like you guys to remove my SERVER's IP address from BAN list.

i have discussed the same issue over IRC with @Spud17
and ze has revoked the BAN on my server's IP address., but still i am facing the same issue.,

if i change the server's IP to old ip, i get "403 Forbidden"
if i chnage the server's IP to new ip, i can browse TPB proxy.

Please help me with it.
thanks for your time.
have a great day ahead.

As discussed on IRC, I have already revoked the IP ban yet you still get the error. That would suggest the issue is at your end, either on your website, or your server.

TPB is up, running, and reachable, as can be seen on our Site Stats. In other words, the official TPB site is alright, but your proxy site is not.

We can't fix your website for you, or your server. The IP is unbanned and that's the end of it as far as we're concerned, so it's pointless asking us to unban an IP that's already been unbanned, and is still, unbanned.

Incidently, the IP in question, which we discussed privately, was banned over 3 months ago. If you have suddenly experienced access issues today, clearly it has nothing to do with the IP in the first place.

update, it looks like the tpb banned my second IP also, so i am currently using 3rd IP.

as per our discussion, i dont think its issue with account login or anything.

imho the issue is with cloudflare as thepiratebay.org is using cloudflare.
so far 2 IP addresses has been Banned by tpb/cloudflare

i did curl from my server with 3 ip addreses , and here is the responses.,

Code:
curl --interface <first IP address> -I https://thepiratebay.org

curl -I https://thepiratebay.org

as you can see above, first 2 IP address are giving 403 Forbiddenwhen trying to access https://thepiratebay.org
but if i change the IP in curl request, to third IP which is not banned yet, i am getting 200 OK status message.

Hope this clears things.

thanks for your time.
have a great day ahead,

i have not listed 3 IPs as per security reason, admins please reply so i can PM you the IP addresses.

Bans imposed by TPB/Cloudflare operators are outside of our control. We cannot even see them.

Since they are updating the bans as you switch IP's, they are obviously acting consciously and intentionally.

I don't know what you're doing but someone somewhere considers it abusive and they don't just want you to stop, they are stopping you. They will continue doing so.

Give it up and move on to a softer target.

thanks for your reply,.

i am not doing anything which should get my server's ip banned.
the only thing i noticed is google indexing my site rapidly, is that causing the issue ?

is there any way, i could contact admins managing cloudflare ? or TPB servers.

thanks.

As I have already told you, I don't know what is causing your issue.

Cloudflare may have contact details on their website.

There is no way you can contact the TPB operators.

You can PM me the IP addresses (and the url of your site) and I will forward them, but there is no guarantee of any reply or any action being taken.
