RMV public transport network of Frankfurt Rhein-Main

Me to. Seems to extended outage. Perhaps someone with a VPN can check if the site is blocked outside of Europe.

I've used the RMV site for years from home. I'm guessing it's a recent tech problem.

RMV website doesn't work for an IP outside of Germany.

Similar to the above by @Windyram, Google gave this answer:

Yes, rmv.de employs geo-blocking, which prevents users with non-German or non-European IP addresses from accessing the website or using the RMVgo app.
The transit authority implements this restriction primarily as a cybersecurity measure to block malicious automated traffic and botnets originating outside their service area.
If you need to check timetables or purchase tickets for an upcoming trip while still in the US, you have a few options to bypass this block:
* Use a VPN: Route your internet connection through a server located in Germany or elsewhere in Europe. This will mask your US IP address and allow the site and app to load normally.
* Use the Deutsche Bahn (DB) Website/App: For route planning and purchasing regional transit tickets (including the nationwide Deutschland-Ticket), the DB Navigator app or bahn.com work perfectly from the US and cover the exact same trains and buses operated under the RMV network.

I was able to access the site using a VPN.

My web history shows that I was on the RMV site last month. So when was this blocking of US IP addresses initiated?

Here's a reddit conversation from October 2025.

It suggests that changing your DNS (Domain Name System) address for your computer is another solution.
