IP Blacklisted on Gna, and I don't know why.

[opensourcejunkie]

Hey all, I've been IP Blacklisted on Gna, and I have no idea why. Moreover, when I checked out the IP that was being blocked, it's not anywhere near my own:

Any ideas on why I'm being blocked?

The IP you're showing here is of a local network, you're probably behind a router and have a dsl provider with dynamic IP, wich means that someone else using that same provider did something to get himself blocked.

No idea of how to get yourself unblocked, maybe changing your IP (reseting your router)?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You are most certainly correct. But resetting the router is usually useless. As a spammer can do just the same, they tend to ban the whole IP range of the Internet provider.

I guess you could send them an email? Or use a proxy or anonymizer if that doesn't help.

[opensourcejunkie]

right - dynamic IP. Thanks, I'll try a proxy.
