Just tried from Kenya and did not see any "ACCESS DENIED".

This is what I am seeing: "Request unable to be completed. The submitted https request was not able to be completed at this time. Please retry your request using http. This may require disabling some browser based plug-ins."

Maybe something to do with your browser?

Edit: typo.
