What Does Error 1005 Mean When Accessing a Website?

[jamerober]

While opening a site, I was blocked and shown error 1005. What causes this error, and is it related to IP bans or security protections?

Error 1005 usually means your request was blocked by the website’s security provider. Most of the time, it’s due to your IP being flagged, maybe because of VPN usage, suspicious activity, or region restrictions. Try disconnecting VPN or switching networks.

Ah yes, the dreaded Error 1005 basically the internet telling you, “Nope, not today, pal.” Sometimes it’s just the website being extra cautious. Don’t take it personally.

This error is often generated by services like Cloudflare. It indicates that your IP is forbidden due to firewall rules or rate limiting. You can check your IP’s reputation online and contact the site admin if it’s a false positive.

Congratulations! You’ve officially been judged by the internet. Error 1005: “You shall not pass.” Maybe you shouldn’t have refreshed 50 times in a row…

IP banned or firewall blocking you. Nothing else.

I ran into Error 1005 a few months ago while using a shared Wi-Fi at a café. Switching to mobile data immediately fixed it. Seems like some public IPs get automatically flagged.

Has anyone figured out if Error 1005 can appear just because of browser settings or cookies? I’ve cleared mine, but I’m still blocked. Wondering if it’s only IP-based or more complicated.

Honestly, I doubt it’s a permanent ban. Most websites flag IPs temporarily. Could be a security plugin overreacting, especially if you tried to access too many pages too fast.

I got this error too! At first, I panicked thinking my computer was hacked . Turned out just switching browsers worked for me. Maybe give it a try?

Error 1005 is generally a Cloudflare access denial. It’s triggered by IP, VPNs, or certain firewall rules. If you need constant access, the most reliable solution is contacting the site admin to whitelist your IP.
