It's been a few days since you've last posted, and when you last posted (on Sunday, January 31, 2021), we were still being assertively protected by Cloudflare's services. That switch wasn't turned off until Monday morning.
Therefore, may I suggest that you close your browser, after clearing all cookies, and try again? No one else but you has reported the continuation of the issue past Monday, and it is now Friday, February 5, 2021.

I'm sorry to read that you are having such issues.
No one else, in any subforum, has reported any issues since last Monday, so your situation appears to be isolated to only you.
Checking your profile, it appears that you have used 389 IP addresses to access FTE, many of which are from VPNs. The photo you posted identifies that you were using a VPN when you encountered the issue that you are complaining about.
While other members, such as the member whose post followed yours, report success with using a VPN, please understand that VPN's are not supported by FTE, nor does the use of VPNs appear to be consistent with Internet BrandsTerms Of Use .

Unfortunately, many online miscreants around the world tend to use VPN's to try and hid their IP address while they spam FTE. Perhaps your VPN has been used by known bad actors? Perhaps you can try accessing FTE without a VPN?
In any event, whereas last weekend, the Cloudflare check was reported by many members and many moderators, this weekend, the Cloudflare vetting process is only reported by you. This strongly suggests that something isn't resolved on your end, as no one else is reporting an issue. We can only wish you the best of luck in solving it.
I too use Norton's VPN and I have no problem getting in the system. If you are using some other companies software for VPN use I suggest contacting them .
Heh, spoke too soon, just tried to login using the Norton vpn and now I'm getting the error as reported above. Turn it off I can log in easily.
Here it is - a week (or so) after this happened. it's happening again. Use my VPN - get the message - turn it off and no problem entering the site. Come on guys can't you just leave what works alone ? Worked fine yesterday with my VPN on.
Actually is ISN'T working again. I had my VPN turned off. What is error 1005 ? This is weird - if I stay here and turn my VPN on, open FTE in a new window, I can get in ! WTH is going on?
My suspicion is broken/exceedingly slow VPN connections. (which are the routes taken between you and the servers) and all the flipping back and forth requires new IP addresses which can phuque with your cookies. I have no real evidence of this, it's just my suspicion based on what you're saying. :
Come on guys...Cloudflair is doing irt again... getting same no access msg as in post #49. Turn off VPN and get in....turn it back on while in FTE and I can stay in FTE. Why just this site ? Or is Cloud-ain't fair- only used here ?
