searches blocked, message says "You don't have permission to access the requested URL on this server. Reference: 18.84e4317.1650916378.518b3b92"

I get this message on everything now. I visit the same websites all the time, can't get to them now. this is quite annoying!

This message is characteristic of a Web Application Firewall, a layer of protection large sites use to avoid denial of service attacks and other suspicious, bot-like traffic.

It can be based either on your IP address -- sometimes an address or range of addresses will be blocked temporarily -- or on unusual characteristics of your browsing requests. So you could:

  • if you are using a VPN or proxy, trying changing your server (exit node) to get a different IP address
  • if you have use any Firefox feature or add-on to modify requests -- for example, blocking more cookies than usual, suppressing the referring site header, modifying the user agent, etc. -- try setting those back to normal
