Hey Cygwin team,

I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access cygwin.com from my
IP (189.76.62.5). I don't mind sharing my IP because when I restart my
router, I get a new one, so no 1337 haxx0rs creating VB GUIs to immediately
h4ck my d4t4.

I went to my dad's house to test it out (he has a different ISP) and the
site works fine there, so it seems like my entire ISP (Sercomtel) is
blocked.

Quick details:
- Browser: Chrome
- OS: Fedora
- Current IP: 189.76.62.5
- ISP: Sercomtel
- Error: 403 Forbidden

I've tried restarting my router to get a new IP address, but I still can't
access the site. It seems like all IPs from my ISP are being blocked. I'm
just a regular user who needs to download some packages. Not a big deal,
all the IPs I was assigned by my ISP are pristine, 0 abuse reports, so it
is indeed quite weird.

Any chance you could check why my ISP might be blocked? Thanks!

Thank you for your attention,

D. Leatti
