I experienced this same problem beginning about a week ago. I access the internet via Starlink that has been nearly flawless for the 2 years I've had it (my former ADSL connection used Western Union for an ISP, I'm sure). All my mobile Android devices and PC devices could not access Bimmerpost, except when my phone connected via cellular. Yesterday, I confirmed my Android tablet could connect to Bimmerpost through a public wifi network, but still not through Starlink. After a bit of research, it seems that Starlink passes all its traffic through services provided by Cloudflare which provides content filtering and site security. One proposed circumvention I found was to try connecting via Starlink and through a VPN. So earlier today I set up a VPN account with Surfshark, and began changing U.S. locations and DNS's. VPN through Salt Lake City (my current assigned Starlink location) still would not access Bimmerpost, and neither does VPN through Denver (next geographic closest). But connecting through Chicago works. I have no idea what's going on -- seems really odd that Cloudflare would be blocking Bimmerpost due to content or site security, but who knows? If any Bimmerpost administrators read this, please investigate. There are possibly many users who have no way of reporting that their access is being blocked. I'll update this thread if anything changes with respect to Starlink or Surfshark VPN locations.
