Cannot access Argos

Hi all,

i've a really odd situation when I try to access Argos and then do an item search i get the message:

ie: https://www.argos.co.uk/search/freesat-box/?clickOrigin=searchbar:home:auto:freesa:freesat+box

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.argos.co.uk/search/freesat-box/?" on this server.

Reference #18.8c35068.1782042195.53a161dc

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.8c35068.1782042195.53a161dc

I am sure its a router issue as i have deleted my cookies and browser history on my pc but it works on my mobile data.

Thanks

No trouble getting there from EE FF. Try another browser.

Edgesuite is the CDN that Argos have their website hosted behind: -

~$ host www.argos.co.uk www.argos.co.uk is an alias for www.argos.co.uk.edgekey.net. www.argos.co.uk.edgekey.net is an alias for e125063.b.akamaiedge.net. e125063.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.1.228.151 e125063.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.1.228.149 e125063.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.1.228.147 e125063.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.1.228.145 e125063.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.1.228.148 e125063.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.1.228.144 e125063.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.1.228.152 e125063.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.1.228.146 e125063.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.1.228.150

So the message itself is being generated at Argos' side. I doubt it's anything to do with your router.

I have no problems with the link you've shared however, things like this are typically to do with how the website is treating connection attempts from a particular source/IP address.

Are you using a VPN or any other sort of Internet Privacy software as that could be causing the problem? If not, then I would try powering your router off for 15 minutes or so, then switching it back on. That should assign you a new Internet IP address which hopefully doesn't suffer the problem.

Seems to be fixed now - I uninstalled chrome
