It's a buy/sell marketplace, web-based
Based on what I've read about what Paypal can do with pulling device info (not much), I find it hard to believe any other website could do more.
At first I thought they might be blocking me based on my restrictive hosts file, or the security plugins I use in Firefox. I'm using a fresh IP/OS
But having tried stripping all the security stuff, and resetting my hosts file to default, (and trying a new browser, then a brand new OS install) I still appear to be blocked.
The point at which I am being blocked may be related to a cloudfront script/cloudfront.net server.
It seems like I am overlooking simple very simple, and that I must be giving this site way too much credit. But if the thing I am overlooking comes to you, please suggest it!
Happy to provide more details if needed - Just totally stumped and thought some of you might have some ideas.
It just seems odd to me that if Paypal can't detect a device, how could some far smaller site?
I do believe they are employing siftscience, which I believe is related to device recognition - also a server called radi.co but that seems to be related to marketing etc. not security.
