Why the Block Occurred
News Corp Australia has implemented software to manage crawler bot traffic on its websites. When a user receives a block, it indicates that the system has identified traffic that could be from automated bots rather than genuine visitors.
Steps to Resolve the Issue
The notice advises users to: - Temporarily disable any AdBlockers, pop‑up blockers, or script blockers. - Add the site to the allowed list for any such blockers. - Ensure that their browser supports JavaScript, which can be verified at https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/is-javascript-enabled. - Use the latest version of their web browser.
If the Problem Persists
If these steps do not resolve the block, users are instructed to email accessissues@news.com.au. They should provide the IP address (2a06:1700:0:8bf::b9ac:ddfe) and the reference number (0.c7667b5c.1787481361.1cea57a2) displayed in the notice, along with an explanation of why they require access.
