Hi Team,

I have shifted to India and am unable to access the website from here. My IP is 117.211.158.13. Any solutions?

ISP is Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited.

Other than the email and instagram addresses found on the Zines that various members have sent me there does not seem to be any way to contact the site moderators.

Thanks,
Ashish Tamhane
 
You need to contact a mod to fix the IP issues. Have reported your post so should hopefully get some help soon.
 
Indeed the Contact Us at the bottom of every screen, or reporting a post, always gets our attention. We are looking into the matter, as we have had to lock out a lot of ip addresses in India due to spam, but I've asked the expert whether there is a way to give a specific exception.
 
If we identify a common origin for troublesome posts, we block it.
Your Norwegian VPN must've been annoying enough to get noticed.

I tried that too. Even that is blocked! I was left with no option earlier but to try and check member's email addresses in an attempt to email them and raise the issue.
 
It got blocked again and now has started to work. I suspect it starts blocking during the UK night time?
 
Ah. Sorry about that, looks like there was a second block. You should be okay now, but let us know if you encounter any more problems.
 
Hi, sorry about that.
Do you have your IP addresss(s) from when you were being blocked?
 
:):)I had the same from Italy - TP needs advance warning of foreigners???

Just checked; we're not blocking that IP, or any of the BSNL address ranges near it, sorry.
What message are you getting when you try to view TP?

I get the ‘Oops! We ran into some problems.’ message along with

Your IP address has been banned.

Is WhatsMyIP website the way to get my IP?
 
Tori_T said:
It should be, yes.
Next time you get blocked, could you note the time, please?
I can then check our logs chronologically to see what was triggered when.

it’s blocked from yesterday and now also. I am accessing this from a Netherlands VPN.

The IPs are dynamic so they keep on changing.
