Description
I live in The Netherlands and my WorkPress site is also hosted there. I am currently in Switzerland. I can visit my WordPress page without problem, but when clicking the login link at the bottom of the page I get a 503 error message instead of the login form. The cause seems to be my location, because a friend located back in The Netherlands can login through the same page.
I think a 403 (Forbidden) would be a more helpful error code in this situation than 503 (Service unavailable). The server is working just fine, but it is refusing service due to my location. A more informative error message that would actually mention that my location is the problem would be even better.

Hi @ari314, welcome to WordPress Trac.
The behavior you are seeing is not behavior that is a part of WordPress core. I would suggest testing with all plugins deactivated and if that doesn't work, reach out to your host as they may have something set up on the server that is causing this.
I've closed this ticket of with the term
invalid, in this case it's the unfriendly term trac uses to indicate that I've referred you to somewhere where you can hopefully find people better able to assist you.
