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.

    • Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.

    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
