(EDIT, via PC with VPN temporarily turned off, because typing on my phone is annoying) Ah, it's probably related to this. Hopefully that is the case and everything will be back to normal again soon. (/EDIT)

(EDIT 3) Looks like it's working again, at least for now. (/EDIT 3)
Something odd started happening today. Out of the blue, a few minutes after I posted the previous post, I started getting "403 Forbidden" error pages on Dreamwidth. However, it turns out that this happens only on my desktop PC and only while I'm using VPN. If I turn off the VPN or access Dreamwidth through my phone which I don't have connected to the VPN, Dreamwidth works fine (such as now, as I use my phone to write this). I will give this a day or two to see if it resolves itself, but if it turns out that Dreamwidth has just arbitrarily decided to start blocking VPNs or something, I'm going to be somewhat irked.

(/EDIT 2)Some people are having trouble accessing the site via VPN: we're still trying to tune the Bad Traffic detection to just the right level, sorry! We will keep working on it and we apologize for the inconvenience.
