I used to be able to go to geekzone from work, but are now getting the message as shown the picture. Any clues as to whats changed and why I now can't access geekzone from work?

This ID is too old (7 July) for me to look at. You have to give me a fresh one.

I can take a picture of the screen on Monday when back at work. How many hours do I have to upload new picture?

gehenna: Work blocking it?

 

 

No, error 1020 is the connection being blocked by one of my rules. I suspect work is using one of the big cloud providers as an exit point - or something else triggered the block.

 

Also notice the page is a Geekzone page, SSL and all - work wouldn't be able to do that without MITM.

It is easier to find within 72 hours max.

@dukester Never mind - the IP address on that screen belongs to AWS. That's blocked (as mentioned in my previous reply above) and won't connect.
