Now Sorted - Problems with peoples' IP addresses being blocked/banned


Recommended Posts

This seems to be fixed now as I'm not getting any more reports of any issues.

Sorry but for some reason a lot of you are getting the message that your IP address is banned. You've not been banned and we're looking into it.


If you are getting that message please email [email protected] with your ip address https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=whats%20my%20ip


I don't usually read emails but will take a look today.

I don't know KidKruger . Feel free to continue to test post to this message and send any blocked IPs to the email address. I can't reply to the emails but thank you for sending them, they all help.

I tried from BT Fon with a different IP to my Home Wi-Wi and it was still blocked.


Its complecated


The Whats my IP IP is your Public IP and can be changed my your ISP


Then you have a Local IP which Identifies you. and I thought this is the one used to block users.

I'm confused.

I believe it may though I do not know how CloudFlare works.


The thing is you can access EDF and read posts but cannot send PMs or Post

I had a flash message on a tablet that my IP had been blocked, but then it seemed to work. I am posting this via the same wifi connection, but a different machine, to see if there's any problem now.


Edited to say, 'and there wasn't'.

No, foxy - your 'local' IP is not visible to the wider internet. The 'public' IP (actually your router's IP address) is what you show to the world and what is used to block you.

So why was I still blocked when going through BT Fon and bypassing my router. ? different IP

Because I was still using the same device. ?? with its local IP ??


I which I knew

I appreciate the efforts to help DulwichFox but your posts are making incorrect assumptions and confusing things.


My spidey senses are telling me this has something to do with BT IP addresses.

Could BT/Fon be the problem? When I was getting the blocked message I was also using Fon and my home laptop. I haven't been able to test that combination today but no problems on my phone or via the Southwark Lib wifi using the same laptop.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
