Forbidden 403 Errors for Certain Sites
NotAmused
Newbie

I've been using GettyImages.com for 7 years, but only when I switched to Verizon did I start getting the below errors everytime I try to hit any page on the gettyimages.com domain:

       Forbidden

       You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.

       Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying
       to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Is there something about Verizon's connection settings that is causing me to be blocked from site? It's unbelievably irritating. I have been able to access the  Getty homepage by using anonymous proxy sites like proxify.com, but they do not allow me to login to my account and I can't seem to initiate image searches through these anonymous proxies.

Has anyone else had this problem?? Verizon has no useful FAQ's on this topic and I've already been on tech support calls for other issues 3 times this week. Would prefer not to spend another hour of my life on the phone with them.

#1 At http://www.gettyimages.com/

you got 404?

#2 Is that still happening or is it fixed by now? I can access that URL fine with no errors.

#3 What is the brand and model of your modem?

#4 What is the brand and model of your router?

#5 Other than proxify.com, are you using any other proxy server?

#6 Are you using any VPN?

This is plenty of questions for now...
