Just switch to Phoenix its the projects new structure and project name.

On another not they have every right to police who and what is
connecting to their service. They also have every right to ban you for
whatever reason they want without giving any reason at all. They are
not policing your computer you have the choice to use other grids with
your banned viewer they are not blocking you from using the
application all together just blocking you from connecting to their
service with it.
