Hmm... Not sure why that's happening for you. It's smooth sailing on my end, including over tor. Maybe you should reset your circuit and try again?

it just worked for me too

weird because I got the forbidden error on the same device 30 minutes ago

I think it's an issue with your specific tor nodes. Whenever I get a website that doesn't load, and generates an error, I'm able to fix it nearly always by resetting my tor circuit so a new set of nodes is used. The restrictions are probably related to some issue with the exit node.

I learned something... In Orbot, hitting "refresh" does fuckall... Did it three times, never got through. Turned it entirely off, waited, then on, and got through.

Now how do I pester Orbot...

That refresh function doesn't do a goddammed thing. Neither does requesting a new identity. In my experience, you have to stop then start the tor connection.

Good to know

And sorry for the false alarm

A lot of these quirky things are just a matter of trial and error. You gotta beat it on from every angle til it does what you want. Lol
