Blocked IPs?

Is there a range of blocked IPs?

Starting a few weeks ago the site became unreachable from my home IP but I can reach it via cell, from work or from any other IP all with the same devices. Around the same time my home routers IP changed (from ISP work).
 
It will have to be dealt with by cutekill, as I don't have that level of access.

If you're using a VPN then that could be the reason, as they can sometimes be blocked as they're a source of spam. Try disabling the VPN to see if you get access back.
 
Have you tried restarting your home router? I know this sounds like a typical IT first level diagnostic request. But sometimes router tables get updated and the modem/router doesn't always pick them up like they should. Might be worth trying just in case.
 
Still super slow. Marginally faster on cellphone but most times the site doesn’t load the page properly at all. For maybe a week it was slightly faster but that’s it.
 
I just took a look at the banned IP's list and it has literally only 5 entries. Several have not triggered since 2019, most never at all, and one yesterday at 5ish PM, but the IP shows as originating in the US midest, so unless someone is using a VPN with a weird location that just happened to have the same IP address (which is insanely unlikely) this isn't an IP ban issue.

My guess is that it's either a VPN issue, or a DNS issue.

@backmarkerducati do you use a VPN on any custom DNS on your router or computers at home?
 
It happens to me once and a while.. I think when I'm in and out of the site a lot in a period (?).. I reset my modem and clear cache... works again.
