Why is this happening? Is it because I am using VPN?

@somegeiser I got the same message without a VPN but was able to access the site when I turned on Opera's VPN.

Site seems to be blocking access to it, maybe from those outside the country.

I also get "access denied" on that page when using the vpn. It works as it should without it.

I got an 'access denied' message with vpn enabled only if the location was set to Europe -- this is probably an issue with the GDPR (or just a server misconfiguration). (it works fine if the location is set to something other than Europe)
