@gibwar Are you using a VPN or perhaps an ad blocker on my site url? I don't have any scripts or 3rd party content, but in the past ad blockers have been the cause of weirdness on my site, and Google (which protects my site from incessant ddos attacks) has been somewhat hostile to VPN services accessing the site for some reason.

@gibwar if it matters, we are also one of the few news sites left on the interwebs that includes a full text RSS feed.

@briankrebs I don't think it's an adblocker issue in this case, if I go directly to the url of an image I get a 403. Though I do use ublock origin on firefox. However, I am using a Mullvad VPN connection so I can test that out later. What's strange is I can visit the site fine and your image is listed as a suburl based off your main site, so it's not like an obvious CDN that would be blocking it.
