Not 'permitted' to use O'Reillys website ??? What's wrong with my software?
 
Apparently, it's on my end but I gotta ask.
Most of my regular sites don't have this issue, but I tried to look up a part on O'eillys and it won't let me Enter a New Vehicle, doesn't acknowledg the existance of my local store, and when I just typed in TCC solenoid in the search box, it slammed the door shut with a white page about not having permision to access. WTF is going on?

Similar problem when I tried to browse the ToyotaNation forum. Nothing even lets me click on it. This started happening two days ago.
We changed our internet provider on Monday, so I'm suspicious about that but why would only a few websites not work?

I gotta get my Toyota transmission problem narrowed down and the quickest way would be to pick the brains of the folks on that forum. Help me out here.

Call your local O’Reilly’s
 
Call your closest/local O’Reilly’s and
ask to speak with the store manager
or commercial parts manager and
discuss your issues with them.

I had a similar problem when I was in vacationing in Vietnam last year. From what I was told, there was a bad actor somewhere on the provider network. So the website bans all traffic from that provider. In my case, the hotel I was staying at. (5 star in Saigon) I had no problem with the small hotel I stayed at in Hanoi.

What are you using to access the sites? PC, IPad, phone?

Maybe try another device or browser if you have one connected to your home Internet to see what happens.

If you are using a VPN, turn it off and try again.

Keep in mind I am a total novice when it comes to (disabling) add-ons or apps, etc.
I had to look up what a VPN is, and I haven't been succesful in finding one in my support systems.
I'm using Firefox and found the basic Menu>Add-ons>Extensions instruction, There is an Extensions Icon that looks like a puzzle piece, And I clicked on it, but am not seeing any VPN control switchy on that tab.

In the meantime, When I open ToyotaNation, I discovered there is a narrow bar that pops up that says "This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop this page."
Anywhere you would normally click to open a thread, log-in, etc. the mouse is just a curser instead of a pointy hand.

Keep the suggestions coming please, I'm lost.:(

I'd say they have a lot of 'cookies' used to track you, and your browser is blocking them. Then their site gives you that message.


:confused:

Please don’t call the store manager, those guys are overworked and underpaid plus they have zero control over the website. You can call corporate if you feel the need since they can work with their web provider if the issue is on their end.

Some glitches that I've had are solved by deleting all history, cache and cookies, site data. Then a shutdown and start of my laptop.

Ok. Basically the errors you are getting mean that someone using an internet connection similar to yours has been doing some bad stuff, so the solution from their side was to block anything close to theirs. Your access being blocked looks like you're collateral damage. Try unplugging your modem from power for a few minutes and plug it back in. If it's on a smartphone or ipad, shut it off and turn it back on after a few minutes. Whenever your device logs into the network, it gets a new address, hopefully outside of the range of addresses that have been causing trouble. If this doesn't work, it might be in your settings, but try doing the above first and report back.

Does it work on yer pone (not on wifi)?

Also, try upgrading your bowser or try a different bowser temporarily.
