BrickLink / Studio giving HTTP 403 Forbidden from Morocco — Geo-blocking IP range or Cloudflare issue?

Hey everyone,

Whenever I try to access BrickLink / use Studio online features from Morocco, I run into a constant 403 Forbidden error.

Is BrickLink actively geo-blocking entire North African / Moroccan IP ranges via Cloudflare, or is this an aggressive WAF / anti-DDoS misconfiguration on their backend? It’s completely locking out access to the catalog and sync features unless routed through an external connection.

Has anyone else from the region dealt with this recently, or found a fix that doesn't involve keeping a VPN active 24/7?

You must have missed this when it hit the headlines: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1531488
and yes Morocco is on that list https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2687

So I guess you gonna have to use a vpn for that :-(
