Like many computing errors, this can be a very annoying situation to be stuck in. Sadly, it is peculiar to virtually all thebest browsers for all devices, so Chrome, Edge, and Firefox users suffer from the error.

In this article, we explore the common causes and prefer the best solutions when you are faced with error 1005.

What is the meaning of error 1005?

This error can happen for many reasons. For example, too many requests from your IP address may be interpreted as spam and trigger the error.

How do I fix the Access Denied error with code 1005?

1. Use a reliable VPN service

Drop your free VPN app for a reliable virtual private network service likeExpressVPN. It encrypts your data traffic, keeps you safe on the web, and helps you unblock websites like Crunchyroll.

Streaming content is the most geo-restricted content all over the world. Using this VPN will allow you to watch all your favorite TV shows, movies, and even anime that are locked to a specific country.

Gain access to any of this content in just a few seconds. You are connected to an IP location in another country with a few clicks.

Even if some of its IP addresses get exposed and blocked by other websites, you can always switch servers and get a new IP that’s not blacklisted.

Furthermore, ExpressVPN runs private DNS servers to protect your DNS queries. It also supports a malware blocker for web browsers, a kill switch, and split tunneling.

2. Check your proxy settings

Nothing is stopping you from using a VPN and proxy at the same time. It’s an excellent way to amplify your online privacy, and you can still access blocked websites.

3. Clear your browsing cookies

Websites store information about your device in cookies, including your IP address. So, even if you try to change your IP address, you might still receive the Access Denied error with code 1005 due to those cookies.

A temporary fix is to try accessing the website in incognito/private / in-private browsing mode. But you must clear the cookies for regular browsing sessions and then restart the web browser.

4. Disable your free VPN service

If you’re using a freeVPNapp to protect your online privacy and access blocked content, you might get blocked by websites like Crunchyroll.

Remember that all users are connected to the same VPN server and can visit the same websites you do. Too many requests from the same IP likely result in banning that IP.

For instance, we usedOpera One, turned on its built-in VPN service, connected to the American virtual location, and tried visiting Crunchyroll. However, as you can notice from the screenshot above, we were met with the Access Denied error 1005 instead.

Using Opera’s VPN will allow you to access a unique IP address that can be changed anytime. Access video content on any platform, any country, with Opera One.

Disable your free VPN service and try to reaccess the website. If you’re still keen on using a VPN for security and privacy (which we highly recommend), proceed to the next step.

5. Add an exception to the firewall

Your firewall settings could be why you keep getting the Access Denied error with code 1005 in your web browser.

It’s unlikely because if thefirewall blocks your web browser traffic, you shouldn’t be able to visit any website.

The instructions above apply to the Windows Defender Firewall. If you have a third-party firewall installed, adapt the steps accordingly.

6. Check your antivirus

Consider this solution only if you use an anti-malware solution, not Windows Defender.

Look under the hood of your antivirus tool and check if it’s blocking your web browser. If so, you must add your browser to a whitelist.

7. Set your system time settings to auto

As curious as it seems, your PC’s date and time settings could interfere with web browser traffic, resulting in various errors.

But you can fix this problem by setting the date and time to auto mode. It means allowing Microsoft to automatically retrieve the correct data from the web according to your time zone.

8. Change your DNS servers

If your DNS resolver fails at its job, it could result in a slow page loading time and insecure Internet settings, leaving you open for DDoS attacks.

Some websites might not even work. But you can fix this problem by changing the DNS servers of your PC. We suggest opting for the free, public, and super-secure DNS servers provided by Google Public DNS.

9. Contact the website admin

If everything else fails, it’s time to fire up your email client and contact the webmaster or site administrator.

It could simply be an error on their end that you can quickly resolve by requesting visitor privileges on their website.
