I think it's because you are probably visiting the site not from US, because I'm not from US too, and was never able to visit redbox.com since the first time I read about this dispute with Disney.

Exactly. It's the basic Akamai error for: Your IP range are blacklisted, and it's probably because you are visiting from outside of US.

I get that on a lot of sites when I use Private Internet Access even from a US endpoint.

Redbox offers digital movie streaming in addition to having rental kiosks. So VPN and non US access is probably restricted.
