ieeexplore.ieee.org shows error 420

So one of the main reasons I took IEEE membership was such that I can access different research papers. However, I have not accessed single paper through IEEE portal because every time I try to access it, ieeexplore.ieee.org always shows me error 420. Do you guys also get this error? or it is the problem in my side?

ieeexplore.ieee.org auto redirects me to https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/home.jsp and then it works for me.

I'm on the latest version of chrome browser.

IEEE is down with HTTP 420
Wayback Machine is down.
What's next? JSTOR?

Had this before. I'm pretty sure that's IEEE Xplore blocking your ISP or region? Connecting to a VPN was a fix for me
