Hi there,
I have been getting this error for over a month now, and wonder if anyone here has experienced it?
The error I get is:
Access Denied
Error 15

What happened?

What can I do to try to resolve?
There are several reasons this error may have occurred. The following may resolve the issue:
• Open your web browser in Incognito/Private mode or disable all extensions if you have Incognito mode set to continue running extensions.
• Use a mainstream browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.
• Disable VPN if you are using one.

1. Private/extensionless browsing. No go. I get the home page, but everything I do subsequently then reproduces the same error.
2. Use a mainstream browser. Already am - Firefox.
3. Disable VPN: Not applicable.
I went in and set my network connection setting to no proxy (why it wasn't on that in the first place is beyond me), but that had no effect.
I have tried clearing cookies and that yields the same result as if I'm on private mode. I.E. I get the home page, but every subsequent operation then generates the same error.
I've done some digging at my end and seems that the "Proxy IP" it talks about has nothing to do with me using a proxy but is in fact linked to Imperva's own infrastructure.
There seems to be no way to contact FamilySearch about this issue. Tried contacting Imperva with no response.
I have found forums where other people are having this issue, but that was back in late 2022 and it seems to have resolved naturally for them.
Has anyone here had this problem and if so, how have you resolved it?
Cheers.
