Re: 403 errors from www.w3.org/*

Ok, looking more into the logs, it seems your IP has been blocked
because we have detected a strange request coming from a phone
(Dalvik/1.6.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.1.2; CINK PEAX 2 Build/JZO54K)).
Here's the request, we received:
[[
POST
/?auth_ver=2&appkey=8d661bff10da05e1316b4a86&nonce=1490614594870&is=214075540546933&model=CINK+PEAX+2&op=27202&signmd5=621993305&vendor=WIKO&locale=es_ES&pkg=com.trustgo.mobile.security&tk=Y1zIzz4VR9PJ4CCMCwZQOA%3D%3D&vn=2.3.0&h=960&w=540&v=462&ntt=WIFI&ie=862255020915960&lc=Z0MLSacBqvcbixHR&dpi=240&sdk=16&checkStr=f60024f804116feca35e620792ff474f&s=8ef3eacaf367047188fdba202dfd706b
]]

Any chance you know how this request was submitted?

Anyhow, the ban should be automatically removed after some times. Let
me know if you still get these 403.

Regards,

Denis

I assume it is possible that some software on “the bad machine” has been causing excess traffic to you, but I have no idea what software that is, and would be surprised if your response to that also includes accesses to the top-level https://www.w3.org/. Hence I doubt that I’m actually caught by your excess traffic “defences”.
