ebay being blocked

[loxocemus]

Hi, I have an issue with Ebay being blocked for me most of the time, occasionally it works for a few days and then its blocked again, I can only access it via a vpn, this is the error

"Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.ebay.co.uk/myb/WatchList?" on this server.

Reference #18.1e3f655f.1774491197.fd2b810

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.1e3f655f.1774491197.fd2b810"

its the same regardless of browser or deletion of cookies etc. Does anyone have a solution?

P.S in HomeSafe settings i have scam and virus enabled but no other protection (other than win11 firewall/antiV)

Thank you and Rgds

Edward

This is going to be a bit of a nightmare as the vast majority of the trace is totally encrypted, making legitimate diagnostics very difficult.

Thankyou Keith

Hi @loxocemus 

Thanks for the trace, which I have now deleted from your thread. I will try and have a look at this later today for you.

[loxocemus]

Hi Keith i have attached the wireshark trace zip and il pm the passw to it. while wireshark was running i tried to access ebays webpage by refreshing it to the access denied error 2 or 3 times. i hope this was correct, via chrome browser.

Hi @loxocemus 

Thanks for the results that you PM'd me with. As I suspected, they show that you reached the destination. However, something, possibly their web server, is blocking your access. To determine what this is, I will need you to get me a Wireshark trace. I can provide a guide giving full details about getting me the Wireshark trace, which I will analyse for you. Please let me know if you are happy to do this.

Hi keith, As i suspected my access to ebay was just temporary, i am again blocked by the same access denied error, i shall pm you the ping results. this time it occurred while i was browsing ebay, the basket/cart link became access denied followed a few seconds later by the entire site.

OK, that's fine, both Google, I just use different settings from preference. But if that's what you have in your eero settings then it is not the issue. Thank you for checking and confirming. I think I will leave you in the capable hands of @KeithFrench going forwards!  🙂

[loxocemus]

hey ferguson, mines is similar to that 

IPv4 primary is 8.8.8.8

but

IPv4 secondary  is 8.8.4.4 not the 208.67.222.222 shown above?

OK, just to satisfy my urge for changing the DNS settings "properly" in the eero here's how to do it.

First, from the home page of the eero app make sure that the security settings are turned off:

Then tap on Settings:

Then tap on Advanced networking:

 And that then on DNS, where you can change the setting from ISP DNS to Customise.

 hi ferguson, windows control panel - network and internet - network and sharing centre, i suppose its considered legacy these days.

[ferguson]

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "control panel?"

[loxocemus]

Thankyou for your help Keith, when ebay is blocked again i shall send you the results from a tracert ping

edward

[loxocemus]

i should mention i changed the ethernets dns in control panel to googles but that didn't help. i have no idea why i have access now when it was blocked just a couple of hours ago, and i have been outside gardening so i wasn't even logged in.

Thanks for the PM @loxocemus there is nothing wrong with the ping, but then it is working OK at the moment. Next time it goes wrong, PM me again with the results from a trace route. From a Windows PC command prompt, this would be:-

tracert ebay.co.uk

As I mentioned at the start, it may be necessary to use Wireshark as well, but let's wait & see what happens when or if it goes wrong again.

[loxocemus]

oh yes i tried edge chrome and firefox and mobile chrome all would return the same access denied error, via wifi and ethernet.

Possibly @ferguson I would just like to prove where this rejection message is coming from first.

[ferguson]

@loxocemus No worries, let's see if we can sort it completely. I noticed the "access denied" message came from Edge, have you tried a different browser e.g. Chrome?

@KeithFrench Thanks. Does the above make sense?
