Banned IP?

Post by kelu »

Hey admins,
I can only log in using a vpn. Without, the server refuses to respond.
Did I step on someone's toes? I tend o do that, me and my big mouth. And if yes, no, I'm not sorry :roll:

It could be your browser or firewall trying to keep you safe.
Chrome right now is showing this forum as Not secure.

we do have a cert problem...

This server could not prove that it is vagunforum.net; its security certificate is from krnlpanic.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

I'm using firefox. And it's not working in any browser. I saw the cert error, and it's not that. Using a vpn simply works, without not. I guess someone is trying to keep me away from your bad influence, folks. Or keep you safe from my bad influence? Hm, hard to say. Maybe we are all bad these days.

Most web and services use a third party blacklisting service. Your home IP address may have been added to a blacklist that this service provider is using. Change your IP address on your router and it will likely start working again. Unless your service provider is using static IP's, a simple release/renew on the DHCP settings should be all you need. If that doesn't work, then the entire IP block may be blacklisted.

Using Firefox and it lists the server as not secure, but it lets me in. Are you using the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome?

Guys, thanks but I know all these, I'm in IT for more than 20 years.
Today it just magically works. And my IP was not in the spam directories either.
Maybe it's time to make ham a backup option for communication, I feel a tension in the air like 30 years ago, when we had the revolution.
We have today the 30 years anniversary of the first events. We shot him on Christmas morning. Best Christmas ever.

Look how it started.

Kelu - I have a firewall set up to block international traffic, and sometimes it gets a little tighter than necessary. What IP is blocked? I can open it or a range of IPs up for you.

Also regarding certificates...yes, I need to correct the cert issue. It looks ugly. krnlpanic.com is my site, and shares the IP address that VGOF is currently on.
