JLHPROF Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) I suddenly started having difficulty accessing the board from home. I get error messages telling me the board is offline or that: Your connection to this server has been blocked in this server's firewall. You need to contact the server owner for further information. Your blocked IP address is This server's hostname is server16.websitehostserver.net Works just fine from work, but not from my home IP. Anyone have the same issue? Edited August 9, 2016 by JLHPROF

bluebell Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I haven't been able to get on since Thursday and it hasn't worked until just now.
danielwoods Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) I can only access using my phone on cellular network. I just figured no one wanted around. Ha! seems like an issue with cloudflare Edited August 9, 2016 by danielwoods
Nemesis Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I need IP addresses from computers this is happening on. Nemesis
Jeanne Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I couldn't get in for 3 days...but oh happy day..I finally got to ya all! What happened? 1
Tacenda Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Nemesis, I also was locked out...and it was hard. But I can do hard things.... 1
Nemesis Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 well looking at ip addresses logged on the site from you all so far there is nothing on my end that is blocking access.
Calm Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I can access it now, thank you whoever did it. It showed me getting to cloudflare, but said firewall blocked or overloaded, even when I checked in the middle of the night. Got a lot done, good timing on that. 2
VideoGameJunkie Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 I'm finally able to access the site again. I couldn't starting Thursday then it allowed me for one post on Saturday I believe and then I couldn't get back on until today.

Nemesis Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 No it's another issue all together. I'm working on a solution but first I'm trying to replicate it.

Duncan Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Just now, Tacenda said: Oh you have issues Duncan. OH REALLY!!!! UH HUH! I see how it is!!! 1
Nemesis Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 So for a quick explanation the way the system works is we have cloudflare protecting our server however our server side firewall decided to block out one of cloudflares servers. A group of posters were trying to connect through that server and the firewall blocked them. I'm having a hard time getting it to stop blocking the particular server because we have no control of server that cloudflare uses for those groups connections. nemesis
Tacenda Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Nemesis, could downloading photos do something, because I swear both time the site did that I downloaded some photos. Or I'm up in the night.
