Bitcoin Forum

Hello,
It's been some days I cannot access to bitcointalk with my real IP address, it says it is banned and I don't understand why.
Could you unban it?
Thank you.

You probably had another sock puppet which was banned for spamming/trolling.

Do you use a VPN?

Currently I do, otherwise I am unable to access to this forum.
I had to register with a VPN also because my IP was already banned before I got to know this forum, it says "You are banned for trolling".
I can send you my real IP that is banned (it is not dynamic), I don't know if it's safe to post it there or should I send you a PM.

I recently changed my service provider and probably the person who had this IP before was banned, I also had that problem with another website where my IP was banned as well.

Are you Swiss? Because I see you talking a lot of french and what I see very often in my forum is Swiss users coming in from the same IAP node (basically acting as a proxy), so if one banned that node's IP one would often also ban innocent users as collateral damage.

Yep, that could be the case here.

Not Swiss but French  ;)
Maybe is it because of my new ISP, it is not a small one but I've head of similar problems with this provider, they used to address dynamic IPs and switched to static IPs.

IP banning=epic fail

PM me the IP and the exact ban message you get.

hi

i cant access from one computer

can you see what is going on there?

thanks

The situation is worsening, now when I go to bitcointalk with my true IP it says "webpage not available" on all browsers, it doesn't even load!
Tried to reboot the computer and tried to use my smartphone with my wifi connection (same IP as the computer) and it says that it cannot connect to the server WTF? However it works perfectly with a VPN or my 3G connection.
Is my ISP trying to censor bitcointalk?

Someone hijacked the nameserver (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=194174.0). It's in the process of being repaired.

It'll say something about the security error, but ignore it, its only because the ip address: 109.201.133.65 isn't the registered certificate owner, instead bitcointalk.org is

It should be fixed some time ago - try flushing your DNS. And no, no one hijacked the nameserver.

It never stopped working for me. I must have mis-read something somewhere... what exactly happened, then?

You may have missed it all :)


Lucky!

It was probably a mis-configuration in the DNS settings. Nothing major,

Sirius forgot to re-point the nameservers to the correct server after changing registrars.

lol... oops.

Problem solved, my IP was unbanned and NS work perfectly. Special thanks to theymos.  ;)
