A problem accessing a login site

[#1]

@outcast 

I was concerned the thread would take the wrong direction looking at routers, I was using mtr on a raspberry pi, 

AS25180  83-244-249-17.cust-83.exponential-e.net

anyway it details the route from plusnet works as does telnet www.mytescomobile.com 443

Although you've been a bit secret on who your CP is, (I suspect A&A) you can.

According to Firefoxs browser console

Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://ct.captcha-delivery.com/i.js”.

Someone from plusnet need to investigate this now

I've just been able to try this from my phone using a different wi-fi and broadband connection. The problem didn't occur, so I could access the PAYG login as it should be.
I don't know what ISP the connection uses though.

I have now tried it from another different location, and again, the problem didn't occur using their wi-fi and broadband.
So I am only getting the fault using my home wi-fi and Plusnet broadband.
Thanks for all of you who have contributed above, although I understand very little of the technical stuff.
What is the way forward please? Can I report it directly to Plusnet? I couldn't find a way to raise a support ticket, which I have been able to do in the past.

I have raised a super user escalation.

Hi All,

From testing here I can get the same error when I'm on a non BT/EE/Plusnet connection, but have NordVPN logged in so my initial assumption is that they are blocking some valid UK IP Address ranges.

I can try reporting it to them.

@Steve_BT 

A warm welcome to the forums.

Seeking to unpick your response, can you please clarify / confirm around the "I can get the same error when I'm on a non BT/EE/Plusnet connection" statement...

1. You have reproduced the issue when connected via BT/EE/PN
2. You have reproduced the issue when connected via some other network (echoing @jab1 's report over their Zen service)
3. You have verified that the issue does not arise on other networks ... for example EE's mobile network

Not clearly understanding where NordVPN comes into the story.  It somewhat looks as though there might be a commonality for both PlusNet and Zen routing here.

Thanks @Townman 

He are my scenarios:

• Connected to BT Broadband IP 81.158.205.144 - mytescomobile.com Loads fine (http 200)
• Connected to BT Broadband with Nord VPN Active IP 91.196.223.75 - mytescomobile.com fails (http 403)
• Spinning up an EC2 container in AWS Ireland IP 34.255.x.x - mytescomobile.com fails (http 403)

To me it looks like they are blocking based on IP range, including plusnet IP's in 31.125.0.0/16

It's not routing - in every scenario you are getting a response from the remote web server run by Exponential-e, either a 200 or 403

@Townman Some misreading/misconception here - I can get the login page up without issue, a;though it is slow compared to most other site.
