    For what it´s worth: I can access the site from Germany without problem.

    Same here. Troublefree access from Switzerland.

    I've got this weird thing happening with a lottery site, powerball.com,
    that gives "The Request is Blocked" trying to enter the page. I play
    this regularly and go there several times a week. This started
    happening about a week or so ago. Javascript on or off doesn't seem to
    matter. If I go into settings and clear history and website data it
    will load again. I don't really do anything on the site other than load
    the page. Any ideas on what is causing it to do this suddenly?

    I don't think so, and I don't think they will not sell tickets to
    foreigners.

    I have been trying to get it to reproduce the error, but I haven't been
    able to yet. I will have to check into safari and see what kind of
    tools it might have to find out what the reason or request being blocked
    is next time it appears. Any insight into doing that would be helpful.
    If one had to do this for browsing every day it would become tiresome.
