My laptop IP address is blocked from the forums

Hi,

My laptop IP address from blocked earlier today from accessing the community forums. Is there any way to remove the block? This happened while I was accessing the forums from a public wi-fi network.

If you PM me the IP you were using I can check it for you, but most likely it was just the public wi-fi that was blocked.

You should have no issues using your laptop with a different internet provider.

Nope, we didn't miss...

Some IP ranges are blocked due to abuse. Occasionally a legit user will stumble across one; it happens mostly with VPNs.
