If you receive a 403 Forbidden error when opening a Spreadshirt or My Spreadshop page, your connection is coming from a region we currently block.
Why we block these regions
Spreadshirt blocks traffic from a number of countries and territories because of invalid traffic — automated, fraudulent, or otherwise non-genuine visits such as bot traffic, click fraud, scraping, and fake account creation. A large share of this activity reaches us from residential IP addresses in these regions.
The block applies to the connection, not to you. Your account, designs, shop, and payouts are unaffected, and customers outside the blocked regions can order from your shop as normal.
The block covers all Spreadshirt platforms — every Spreadshirt top-level domain and all of their subdomains, including spreadshirt.com, spreadshirt.net, partner.spreadshirt.com and partner.spreadshirt.net, as well as all My Spreadshop shop URLs such as shopname.myspreadshop.com.

How to access your account
Connect through a VPN with a server in Europe, then open the page as usual:
- Install a VPN client of your choice.
- Connect to a European server (for example Germany, the Netherlands, or Ireland).
- Open the Spreadshirt or My Spreadshop address and log in.
- Stay connected for the whole session — if the VPN disconnects, the block applies again.
