I've noticed that I have no problems connecting to the site or forum when using my ISP-provided address, but when I connect to my work VPN (using Google GlobalConnect) and the New Zealand proxy (which is an Auckland IP according to whois data), I receive an error stating that Access is blocked on the geekzone side. Is this intentional because it's associated with a proxy endpoint or for some other reason?

For an idea, we have four rules for different ASN and VPN. These are requests blocked in the last 24 hours:
And these are the total number of requests blocked in the last 24 hours:
In this case, it comes to about 45 requests/minute. Not a big number (some days are a lot more), but it also means these requests don't reach our server, and we don't have to provision capacity to handle this unwanted traffic.

Access blocked
For some reason we can't serve this page right now.

Is there a reason to block this IPv6 prefix?
edit: I didn't expect that post to submit. Why did it work here, but I got the failure in other forums.

@nztim:
I had the same problem when in when I was over in Australia, the connection I was on was using the Servers Australia, not able to access GZ
for the same reason
Again, different from gregb's experience, but the same as the OP.
I have changed and now instead of blocking these AS it will run an automated captcha. Still, the number of "humans" accessing from those AS is tiny if we look at the number of challenges issued in the last 24 hours and the actually solved ones:
