Re: [Lynx-dev] CloudFront May be Blocking us?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Chime,
Where is cloudfront located?
Am I correct that the site owner, with whom you  have contact, can 
actually reach cloudfront?
Here is my suggestion, at least it worked for cloudflare visiting patreon 
from lynx  here at shellworld.
have the list owner to ask cloudfront if  he can clear you via your IP 
address. in lynx, it should? be a constant, at least it is for my accounts 
here at shellworld.
The problem is that lynx, like edbrowse, has a reputation  for  being used 
by hackers.
what I did notice on your cloudfront error page is that the company wants 
to learn.  Making it possible that with a bit of education, Lynx can be 
cleared as a browser, given far more folks in unique situations  use it 
than hackers.
