Interlopers.net Forum - Half-Life 2 News & Tutorials

When i try to get to Interlopers.net from school, I get a 406 Not Acceptable error.

The details are:



My guess is this is caused by my schools web-filter. Can anyone provide any more ideas/insight about this?

Definitely a blocked website...

The rest of the websites actually have a blocked page. This seems like an error Interlopers is generating based on something being blocked.

I get this at AAU as well. Pisses me off. Every other forum works, just NOT LOPERS.

Only one user reported this happening before now and he says it's resolved foe him so I thought we were in the clear. I think I know what is causing it. Will get back to you...

I had the same thing at work. I'll go ask the tech guys how they fixed it

It's to do with mod_security on Apache, it's a firewall. In laymans terms, when users are browsing the site through some kind of proxy or something similar, it can't see who you are properly and as a precaution it denies access.

I'll need to tweak Apache at some point, but you lot at school should be working!

I was the unlucky one who got and reported it, right when map battle 31 started! Everything is still fine for me already. If you really need to acces the website from the place you get 406, you may use OperaTor browser, it's very laggy and slow but it somehow avoids 406. Just place the folder whenever you want, it doesn't need an installator.

Huh, that's interesting. I thought a lot of websites used this though, so wouldn't it be a common error for people to run into in that case?

I haven't changed a thing, but I'll take the credit.

I thought it was just the forums having a bit of a bottom burp and going down for a bit. It's happened a couple of times for me over the past few days.

Tell that to my advisory class which is free time. If I can't play games (Blocked. =() then I may as well contribute to 'lopers.

I'd tell you if your 'not doing anything but fixing' worked later... Schools DHCP server went kaput...

No DHCP = No IP's being assigned. No IP's being assigned = No logging on.
No logging on = DRAG/BORING.

And free time.

Whatever you didn't do, didn't fix it. =(
