MODERATORS Remove IP-protection from my account

I can access my account only from IP which I used to register it. Moderators, admins, etc. please, remove this "protection" immediately. I have dynamic IP, which changes every several days, after it'll change I'll lose access to my account for forever. I really don't need this "protection".

I'm not aware of any such protection.

Can you show us what you are seeing (i.e. a screen grab) when you attempt to connect from another IP? And also, please clarify how you are making the connection -- is it from the same computer/phone/tablet but using a different internet connection, or is it from a different device as well.

Every single time I turn on any VPN, this forum denies me to access it. Look my screenshot.

It is possible that the IP address in question was used by spammers and has a block (not related yo your account, though).

I can check the status of a blocked IP in the admin panel. Please send me a PM with the apparent IP address of your VPN (i.e. the result of googling "what's my IP") and I'll look to see what is happening. (Don't post the IP address in this thread)

Thanks for sending me the PM. I checked and your VPN's apparent IP address was indeed blocked. I have deleted the entry, so it should be unblocked. Please test.

For the record, the reason it would have been added to the block is if we had a user account that was banned (often a spammer) that came from that address. If it is a commercial VPN, there are many users who have the same effective IP, so we may see this happen from time to time. If you are using a VPS or similar where you have a public IPv4 address that is dedicated to you, the block may have happened against that IP at some point prior to your use.
