I was getting this starting yesterday to. I tried all the other endings to the site (.org, .net) and it still came up with the same message.

I use Brighthouse and am able to access the site without any problems. Try releasing and renewing your IP address.

Can't 
I always get same one back unless brighthouse resets something. I think the cause is that they gave out new set of IP addresses to people in some areas of orlando. Like I said my IP changed after recent downtime to something way different. It might totally brand new addresses too because site like speedtest.net can't even figure out where in US I am located, before it would place me in FL now just puts a star in the center of US.
Not really sure how that Sentinel Protected thing works on ORCA but it's either has long list of accepted IPs that it allows through or for some reason something similar to 184.91.106.5 IP is blocked, like anything 184.91.X.X etc.

He said in his post that he will be putting the workaround in tonight.
I just edited some IP ranges. Please give it another try and let me know if it works or not.
From what I can tell from Cesar's hard work investigating your problem, it appears that some of the IP addresses that Brighthouse is using (a new development?) is from a range that had been reserved and a part of the security software is blocking IP addresses falling into that range.
I manually edited the range that Cesar identified as what Brighthouse is using (in addition to other ranges) to no longer be reserved but to be "normal" IP addresses for a computer in the USA.
Hopefully this will fix your problem.

Yeah its working for me to now. Thanks!!
Glad it is working for you again.
It can cause problems when they reassign IP subnets and security software doesn't keep up with it. We do a couple things on the ORCA site to cut down on spam etc.. In this case one of the security programs said that your IP address was invalid and kept you from entering the site.
Since it appears to have affected a couple people I'm glad we were able to get it taken care of fairly quickly.
