Can't access Flickr

I can't access Flickr, every time I try to log in I get the message "403 Forbidden Request forbidden by administrative rules." I get this message on my Win11 PC and my Android tablet.

    Disable Parental Controls in the VM online account.

    Thankyou for your reply but Parental Controls were already off, but the problem persists.

    Did you Google Flickr and "403 Forbidden Request forbidden by administrative rules" ? 

    Quite a lot of hits over a wide time period. 

    Perhaps not a VM issue.

    Thanks for replies, but the problem is not yet solved although it may not be a VM problem, as per previous reply from Client 62.

      Hi Dane2 

      Welcome back to our forums, and sorry to hear you are still having issues with Flickr. We can understand the frustration caused, and we want to do our best to help from here. Just to confirm, do you get this error when using alternative browsers? Also, is Flickr the only affected website with this error?

      Thanks,
