Thank you for that notification - for some reason I did not get an alert, which should have resulted from your @; I just saw this from a morning run through of this forum. I have no access to the AK Database server setup, so will notify admin @Wardsweb and others of this request.@hjames @Tinkerbelle
Since presumably the akdatabase server does have an IPv6 address, possibly it just needs to get added to the DNS record by whichever AK admin can do that.
I assume this is the same result from the (AK Database PDF Gallery - Home) address noted above and from the AK Database link from the center of the forum (https://audiokarma.org/forums/link-forums/ak-database.225/)?I've noted I can't open any of the mentioned sites, I get an error from my browser, from my computer or my cell phone (cell phone browser says ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE )
I'm not sure if the sites are up and running, but I can't reach them from my location.
Interestingly, I also encountered similar access issues to the AK Database a couple of weeks back using duckduckgo. This was when duckduckgo was otherwise working and before it started giving the 403 error. This was with or without VPN and with IPv4. Changing to a different browser and search engine restored access to the AK database for me and with IPv4, with or without VPN. However, you're saying this access restriction is the case for others from your location, so it sounds more address related but TBD. Meanwhile, I've raised this issue internally for any possible insight from others.
