connected to US vpn, now cant post via laptop!
so on sunday i was working on my macbook air. i connected to a US nordvpn node so i could access disney+ US. all was fine.
i come on here to post about something, and get some sort of DDOS/spam protection thing blocking my access to the entire site... Your IP: 45.144.113.xx is blocked due to high levels of spam registrations Org: Clouvider Limited Country: USA (North America) so i disconnect from the VPN and use my normal virgin media IP, and i still get the same error message, but with the different IP showing. i've also tried a UK nordvpn point and get the same again. i was using chrome on macos when i got the error, but i also get the exact same problem using safari (which i'd never accessed this site with before) on my work laptop and phone, i can access the site just fine, so it is machine specific. the site worked just fine up until sunday when i changed to a US vpn node. i thought it might be cookie related, but it also being blocked in safari, which i only ever use for testing sites, or if there are other issues kinda rules that out any ideas? |

It isn't cookie based. So it will be the actual IP that is blocked. Please send me a screenshot via PM with the full IP and I will check it in the system for you.
We actively block around 100 spammers per day. Mainly using VPN's. Without this system in place it would be a nightmare to deal with. |

just tried a random nordvpn US address:
Your IP: 185.240.244.30 is blocked due to high levels of spam registrations. Organisation: DEDIPATH-LLC Country: United States (North America) and a uk address: Your IP: 89.238.150.152 is blocked due to high levels of spam registrations. Organisation: M247 Ltd Country: United Kingdom (Europe) now, if i connect to those, and then disconnect, access is working, but on sunday when i tried, no matter what my ip (including my home one) it was chucking out that error. i suspect its all ok now though, as i'm typing this on my macbook in chrome. but yeah, all the error messages today have been from when i connect through nordvpn addresses |

You will find a lot of VPN's blocked now. As I mentioned the level of spammers signing up using them will end up with them all blocked.
