unable to access 'https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git/'

Hi All
Since several days, it seems that U-Boot git repository is not accessible.
Fetching or cloning u-boot repo leads to the following issue:
git clone https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git Cloning into 'u-boot'... fatal: unable to access 'https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
Thanks Patrice

I also see similar issue from China these days:
git fetch origin fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git/': Failed to connect to source.denx.de port 443 after 135047 ms: Connection timed out
Thanks Patrice

So, the problem we've been having for a few weeks now is that a number of crawlers have been scraping source.denx.de (and ignoring robots.txt) excessively and making the server unusable for anyone much of the time. The only solution thus far has been to implement some region-based blocks, and see what the fall-out becomes. Andy, in your case it's probably best to switch to https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot as that's kept in-sync. Patrice, I'll follow-up off-list to see what needs to be allow-listed for the ST team to access things.
