Problems with access to tandyleather.com

Recommended Posts

Some time ago I started having problems with access to https://www.tandyleather.com/ (https://www.tandyleather.ca/, https://www.tandyleather.eu/ - same)
Error 403 Forbidden
The problem is constant and repeated over several days.
I wanted to ask, is it only when trying to enter the site from Ukraine or someone has the same situation?

Thanks!

It seems that this is a deliberate blockage.
How to explain Tandy that Ukraine is not Russia? :)

Both work from France..Just accessed them ..

Try using a proxy based outside the Ukraine..That will let you know if they are blocking Ukraine IPs..

Try using a Russian proxy..might be they are just blocking the Ukraine ..

Why they'd block either is a mystery..

Thank you, Mike.
I tried to log in through a proxy (Germany and the USA) - everything works.
What Ukraine is guilty? :(

Like Chris said..blame it on Brexit..
OT / Co-incidentally enough Andrey..when you posted about being "blocked" above, your post count was 403 :)
Now you are 404.. :)
Pay close attention to any noises coming from your computer lest you go 410 :)..when did you last clear out the dust bunnies..
How does one say "dust bunnies" in Ukrainian ?..In French they are called "moutons" ( sheep ).. :)

If only we could convince Russia that Ukraine isn't Russia.

Yes, I haven't vacuumed my laptop for quite a while. Need to do. Thanks for the warning :)
And as for dust bunnies, I can’t even remember a special word in Ukrainian for that. Well, except that the word dust is "poroh".

Sir, the USA is doing quite a lot in this direction, for which the Ukrainians are very grateful.

Specialty:Various..and "topic drift"


Thus..Murky Buckets..H :)
Takes my mind off watching Wales leading Ireland 10-0..( now 13-10 :(( )

To return to Topic..Tandy HQ is in the USA and is shut weekends..I did phone Canada about an hour ago ( who are open today ) to see if they knew of any policy that says that Tandy as an organisation are blocking the Ukraine..Very polite guy there at the shop ..does not know..Says only HQ would know..

I can phone and ask them* ( Tandy HQ in Fort Worth TX ) when they are open next week ..

*No problem..Unlimited worldwide ( with the exception of a handful of countries ) calls and data plans on my phones..fixed lines and cells..

Point them to this thread..and to Andrey's work

( I'm sure they'd like him to be using some of their leather to work on )

I'm watching too,

I am in the unbelievable position of wanting an Ireland win, followed by an England win. :wacko:

Mike, I did not even count on such a radical way of solving the issue :) Thanks!!!

I am definitely not a valuable customer for Tandy (most of my purchases are books and some tools).
But in Ukraine there are a sufficient number of people working with leather, who, I think, will be glad of the possibility of continuing their purchases through website TandyLeather.

Two ideas, try using duck duck go to search and go in com there,

Try using the cached page search with Google, it may get you in.

Ok third idea, try a different web browser.

And a fourth, try a smartphone or tablet, rather than a computer, or vice versa.

I get 403 error both on my work computer and at home. And on the smartphone too - both in network at work and at home.

It may well not be Tandy that is blocking access... It could be your country.   That has been known to happen!

Judging by the trace, the problem is on his side.

Has a number of suggestions to rectify it; use basic address not a folder; clean cookies etc.

Based on the fact that everything from other countries works fine, and with me, when using a proxy, too, it’s very similar to blocking by the IP group associated with the country.

Yep.."Geo Block" Blocking..
I 'll ask why..sometimes it can just be a sysadmin who isn't precise enough about what ranges are allocated to who..
Or who just thinks that they won't get any customers from "X" and so blocks "X" to save bandwidth ( 403 isn't many bytes, but if that is the intention there are better ways to do it "upstream") or protect against perceived risk of "intruders" ..
FWIW..tracepath ( from line 10 onwards ) ( including the cogent lines )

The .eu is being served from the same IP as the .com.
I'm getting accepted in to both sites..

If they are running a Geo IP ban.intentionally ( might be that they need to update their tables GEO IP list, or up/grade/date their feed if they are using something like maxmind's paid feed, if it is unintentional ) , then they probably would not send items to your country either..

That would be my worry. I'd be wary of placing an order with them using a proxy till you know for sure they will ship to you. I've played that game before and had my money tied up for a few weeks before they refunded.

Will they be turning up too? I'd rather hoped 4-0 last time would leave them with no sport, so they'd send out the juniors.
