Blocked website

Why does ViaSat browser block gunboards.com?
I get a screen announcing

THIS PAGE ISN’T WORKING
If the problem continues, contact the site owner.
HTTP ERROR 409

The problem is that the website is very much working just fine. On any other browser except ViaSat!

Is this some half-baked, juvenile attempt at censorship?
I can access gunbroker.com and <VIASAT WON’T LET ME ADD A THIRD LINK> without difficulty .

So what’s the problem?

Hi @flhp98

I was able to access both links you sent right now, are you still experiencing this issue?

Could you send us a screenshot of the error? It’s very likely this was a time-out due to slow speeds or loss of connection.

PS: You do not need to use the Viasat Browser on a daily basis, as it is currently not receiving new updates at this moment. The Viasat Browser is only necessary if you are running modem tests on speedcheck.viasat.com – you can switch to any browser of your choice :slight_smile:

…Well I’ll be dipped in a Brown Veneer!
I’ve been trying to open GB on ViaSat Browser for months, and NOW it works! PFM!

I use the ViaSat browser about half the time as FireFox appears to be allergic to anything from Google. Downloading a YT video takes forever; absolutely will NOT download a reCAPTCHA security test and downloading Google Maps takes a lot longer than a YT video, if it downloads at all.

Thanks, Nathalia. Not sure what the change/difference is but it’s working!
I never argue with success…

Hi @flhp98

That’s good to know! It’s possible the Viasat Browser auto-updated to the most recent version while you were using it.

I’m marking this topic as Solved in the meantime, but if you notice this issue happening again, please let us know (and if possible attach screenshots of what shows up)! :wink:
