    How do I get my IP address off the banned list?

    This has been going on for years - not sure why my IP address is banned. The only way I can come here is with a VPN.

    Was your membership banned in the past under a different user name?

    Maybe do what is says and contact the administrator?
    Don't get angry when I post something you don't like 'cause I'm just some anonymous nobody connected by electrons. One click and I'm gone.

    Quite possible you were using a Public IP...and one user being Banned...All Users are Banned. Seen it on our Forum...when we had that!!

    I received the same message on my gunbroker account this morning. It won't let me on with either of my newer Samsung Galaxy tablets but the older Samsung tablet and my phone works.
    New years pranks??

    The address you registered with is not banned and of course the VPN is not banned. What address are you trying to come in with that shows a banned?

    No, never. I've never been banned. I was living overseas and had my account since I was overseas or before I left the US - I moved to Missouri 2 years ago and have been only able to access via vpn since I came to the US.

    VPN is the 'only' way I can log in - my service provider IP is banned.

    I'm just using the internet service that is provided by my local electric & internet cooperative. When I do an IP address search it doesn't show to my home but to the nearby town (pop ~ 3,000 & about 10 miles away). Is there a way I can DM or email with you rather than post my IP address on this public discussion? Thanks.

    Anyone, I believe, can read your IP address by clicking on the appropriate icon. You have received an answer from the Forum's Owner, No_1, who is also the forum-related computer guru.

    Since he says that your IP and VPN are not on the banned list, why can't you continue to post as you've been doing?

    I think what No. 1 is asking is for the ip he is trying to get in with. And possibly his username and password. I have run into this as the owner of my forum and it is usually a blacklist thing with the server software where his ip is blacklisted for some reason. This is 99% of the time nothing that the person has done or would even know about. And most of the time I am not even sure there was a legitimate reason for the blacklist. Just one of those things you run into on the internet.

    I think I accidentally sent him the VPN IP address, when I log in, from my home IP without the VPN I get this:

    I received your PM. The IP range you were accessing the forum from was blocked in the sorftware. It has been unblocked. Give it a whirl now.
