My IP Address blocked

Anonymous — Sat, 10 Aug 2019 06:50:39 GMT

I"m in different country and after some log ins, my ip address is blocked and can't access myfico forum. This is weird. Even banks have a way to figure out who is genuine and who is not before blocking someone from the website if they are outside the country. And I'm accessing this website from private broadband /wifi network, not a public one.

I had to remote in to my work computer which is located in US to write this post as I can't access this website from my home's desktop computer anymore.

Are you using a VPN? If it's a common one, the IP you're using may be banned. Try a different ip or try without the VPN.

Please send me PM of said IP address and see if we can do anything about it. We block alot of trouble maker VPN's and some countries as well due to alot of spam coming from either or and nothing productive. Will look at what I can do when you provide me this information.

I'm not using VPN. It looks like I'm able to access the site from my home computer after I posted my concern in this thread.

Sent PM. Although, I'm able to access the site so no issues as such. However, you may still want to investigate the issue based on the IP address.
