How to resolve: Error 1005 Access Denied Cloudflare

An Error 1005 Access Denied message is a sure shot indication that the website you are attempting to visit has banned your IP address. Fortunately, Our Support Team is proficient at solving issues like these.

This specific error may be due to several reasons. Let’s take a look at some of the common reasons:

• Users from a specific IP address of a range of IP addresses may be restricted due to security reasons like spam.
• Webpage is not available in all countries due to licensing issues or geoblocking.

How to disable free VPN service

In case we are relying on a free VPN service for online privacy protection or accessing blocked content, the chances of coming across the Error 1005 message are highly likely.

This is why our Support Techs recommend disabling the free VPN service and attempting to access the website again. However, if we prefer using a VPN service, continue reading to find out how to switch to a reliable VPN service.

How to use a reliable VPN service

It is always a good idea to switch to a reliable VPN service from a free VPN service. It protects your online data traffic in addition to unblocking websites.

How to check proxy settings

The next option is to check the proxy settings. If we are running Windows, head to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy. In case it is Windows 7 or an older edition, we can find the Proxy settings at Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN settings > Proxy server.

Furthermore, our Support team suggests verifying the network configuration settings as well. However, if we are using Firefox, we can check the proxy settings on the browser by heading to Options > Network Settings > Settings > Configure Proxy Access to the Internet.

How to clear browsing cookies

For Chrome:

1. Head to Settings > Clear browsing data and select Cookies and other site data.
2. Then set the Time range to All time and click Clear data.

For Firefox:

1. First, head to Options > Privacy & Security and choose Cookies and Site Data, and click Clear Data.
2. Then, choose Cookies and Site Data and click Clear.

For Microsoft Edge

1. Navigate to Settings > Cookies and site permissions and click Cookies and site data.
2. Then, choose See all cookies and site data and click Remove all and Clear.

How to add an exception to the firewall

1. First, press the Win key and enter firewall and choose Firewall & network protection.
2. Then, click Allow an app through firewall.
3. Next, click Change settings.
4. After that, locate the web browser on the list and then enable the Private as well as Public options.
   In case, it is not on the list click Allow another app to locate it.

Check Antivirus settings

If we are using an anti-malware solution other than Windows Defender, we have to check if it is blocking the web browser. If so, then we have to add the browser to the whitelist.

Set system time settings to auto

Setting the date and time settings to auto will help reduce the chances of running into an Error 1005 due to the wrong date or time.

Change DNS servers

If the DNS resolver is not working properly, it can lead to sow page loading time, insecure internet settings, and so on. Changing the DNS servers will fix this issue and also prevent Error 1005 from occurring. In case you are still running into the Access denied message, our Support Team is here to help with further troubleshooting.
