The owner of this website (www.bleepingcomputer.com) has banned your IP address (IP)

K.

edit: VPN, ssh -D to vps & socks5 localhost worked. Can't have anything anymore.

If you have a dynamic IP it was probably banned because of someone else who had it in the past.
With widespread CGNAT and the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses this will become more and more common each day...
Haunted IPs are a thing, same as the haunted domains article also on the front page right now! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41951131
In the future, everything will block you unless you're on a residential IP address in a Western country, running Chrome on the latest version of Windows or iOS, you have remote attestation, and your ISP's ASN isn't haunted because someone in your neighborhood had downloaded malware a few years ago
You mean MacOS, and I'll block that too :)
Headscale, the open source backend alternative to tailscale, which frontend is open source to begin with, is worth looking into.
