UK Ban On HF? - samtenny - Jul 22, 2015
I can no longer access hackforums from the UK. I have sky internet and have tried disabling the broadband shield ect. ect. but I just cannot connect. All I get is an error message saying that its banned in my county.
🤗 Any Ideas?

Ask about it there. I'm sure you can resolve it.

No idea what sky is, but if you have a VPN on or something like tor browser then you will not be able to access HF.

If Sky blocks HF that's pretty ridiculous.

I'm with Virgin Media and mines fine (From the UK) must just be your ISP. Sky is literally the worst ISP anyway, the max DL speed is like 5mb

I'm going from BT to SKY. I really hope SKY haven't blocked this website. :/

I'm using Sky BT and it's not blocked for me. They can't block HF unless they have a legitimate reason.
However, there was a morning that I woke up and there was this new Sky shield that blocked me from hackforums and classed it as a "Hacking site", it also blocked porn sites and any proxies I went on.
The solution: Log into the sky web panel and turn off the restriction setting.
