I am trying to make a MacProxy Plus extension for macintoshgarden.org in order to use the website under System 6 with MacWeb. I am learning about those Python extensions in the process.

Unfortunately, the macintoshgarden server has seen my requests as hostile and I am now getting a "Connection refused" error from all the computers in my house.

I am not sure who to contact for the server to accept my IP address again. I guess my IP was blacklisted because of some missing data in the requests from MacProxy. I would need to know which data is required otherwise anyone using that extension would be blacklisted as well.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the link @Certificate of Excellence ! I can now load the website again, which is great! It seems that there is a limit of connections per minute so I may just try to replicate a few pages of the website on my local machine to parse the HTML without having to send requests to the real server.
