Not reaching any forum. Blocked IP???

[Thea.]

I have this issue and I really do not know why. I was in the USA for 4 months and before two days I got home in Bulgaria.
When I try to reach any forum in forumotion/bulgarianforum.net it is saying that I can't. First I thought that it is because of my wifi connection and contacted my intetnet delivers. When they checked they saw that my wifi IP is blocked in forumotion. I can open the forums from my data bases on my phone because the IP is different. Please, can you fix this problem because it is really annoying. There is no reason my IP to be blocked. Thank you.

This is one of the forums I am trying to reach and this is my account: Thea Lannister.

And a screenshot

[Thea.]

After this they told me that you changed your host and it will take time to equalize the information..

Hello I am sorry you are facing this problem today and I will do my best to help you on this problem.

When you try to get on the forum do you get any warning come up on the screen ?
if yes please screen shot the warning and send this on to me here on this post.

[Thea.]

The only thing that popps in is that the network is changed and that's why the site cannot load.
There is an error: err_network_changed

[Ape]

can you screen shot this for me so i can see the problem and send this on to our team.

[Thea.]

[Ape]

Thank you.

I have tested this and i don't see the same thing.
Could you clear your browser cache and cookies and then try again also reset your modem / hub then try again.

[Thea.]

I did it... it is not working again

[Ape]

Okay i will ask if there is anything we can do to help from our end.

The problem is you are not blocked by IP address from the forum or you would have a warning saying you was banned by us so we have to see why your forum is not showing up for you.

I will make a report about this now for you and hope that our head office can fix this for you.

 will get back to you when i have more news.

[Thea.]

I will look forward for your response.

Hello guys!
Try to delete all cookies from your browser ..
Also try to surf your forum from an anonymous web proxy online surfing..

[Thea.]

Can you tell me how I can do this with the proxy server? I am not really familiar how to do it

[Thea.]

I tried the online proxy server and it worked!

[Thea.]

Without the proxy it is still not working but at least I opened it with the proxy.

[Mr.SnOuP]

If you are the founder of this forum try to "reset the ban ip" from Founders' tools

[Thea.]

I am not the founder unfortunately. But even if I was I don't know if it it's going to work cause I cannot open any forum in forumotion,not only that spesific one. This one is only an example.
But still I can ask the founder of the forum if it makes sense

[Mr.SnOuP]

Okey;
Let's try another solutions on your computer
Solution 1. Reset your IP/TCP:
1) Enter cmd in the search box from Start menu.
2) Right-click on Command Prompt from the top of result and click Run as administrator.

3) Click Yes when prompted by User Account Control.



4)Type the following commands in the open window and press Enter after each to run them one by one:
netsh int ip set dns
netsh winsock reset


5) Restart your computer and check if the error still exists.

if the error still exists... try
Solution 2: Check for a modification in DNS Settings
1.Go to Control Panel using Win + X on Windows 8 and Windows 10 and selecting Control panel from the list. In older versions of Windows, you can open it from start menu. Inside the control panel, find Network and Sharing Center and click over it.


Inside Network and Sharing Center, navigate to the left pane and click on Change adapter settings.

It would open a new Window. There, you would see some Network Adapters currently installed on the system. Right click on the adapter which is currently in use and select Properties from the list.

Inside the adapter properties window, first select the Internet Protocol Version 4 from items panel and click on Properties button below.

Inside IPv4 Properties, check if the settings are the same or you can also set the IP Address and DNS Address to be obtained automatically. Do the same with IPv6 and click OK.

that's all
Waiting for + result...

[Thea.]

I tried the first option and it is still not working Now I will try the second

[Thea.]

No result.... I tried both of them.... I am losing hope

[Thea.]

Do you think that the problem might be a driver?

[Mr.SnOuP]

Do you think that the problem might be a driver?

hmm; no i don't think that
can you tell me what is the name of the internet service provider  that you use to access the Internet..

[Ape]

Hello @Thea.

Please don't double post. Your posts need to be separated by 24 hours before bumping. Please use the edit button, instead! Please read our forum rules: ESF General Rules

As I have said already i have made a report about this to our head office and they will get back to me as soon as they know more.

What i can tell you is this is nothing to do with your IP address being banned on our system or it would come up saying you was banned by the forums.

and using a proxy will only make your account banned by the forum it's self and then you will be in a bigger mess.

as i have already said i have made a report and i will get back to you when i get news back from our head office.

[Thea.]

Okay. I will wait and stop using the proxy. sorry for any inconvenience.

[Ape]

Hello @Thea. sorry for the delay on this matter but i have just been asked who is your service provider ?

[Thea.]

It is Mtel Bulgaria

[Ape]

Okay thank you i will pass this on now i hope to have news really soon.

Hello !
i think that forumotion is blocked by your internet provider .@Thea. ..
some ISP could block any forum belongs to forumotion i don't know because what ! but it happned in some countries.
so;try to use Google DNS Servers.

1. Go to the Control Panel.
   
2. Click Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings.
   
   
3. Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS. For example:
   
   
   
   • To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, right-click Local Area Connection > Properties.
     
   • To change the settings for a wireless connection, right-click Wireless Network Connection > Properties.
     

If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
[*]Select the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then click Properties.
[*]Click Advanced and select the DNS tab. If there are any DNS server IP addresses listed there, write them down for future reference, and remove them from this window.
[*]Click OK.
[*]Select Use the following DNS server addresses. If there are any IP addresses listed in the Preferred DNS server or Alternate DNS server, write them down for future reference.
[*]Replace those addresses with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers:

• For IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4.
  
• For IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844.
  
• For IPv6-only: you can use Google Public DNS64 instead of the IPv6 addresses in the previous point.
  

[*]Finaly .. Restart the connection

what odd to me, I just sign in in a non secure formotion, and hearing this info put me in a backward position. Why does he have to do all that step even when he just said he is not the fonder of that forum site to whatever he been blocked by. Because in this case if he can access to this formotion.com then surely there nothing wrong with his internet provider. It just the fact that the forum he trying to reach he been banned from that forum site period. The administrator however decided to IP ban his address from connecting to that forum in any way. So of course he gonna get that failure error message or what so ever because he banned from that site period. Or in this case if he get an error message again from using the proxy server then it clearly that owner of that forum site must of change the name to something else, or could have decided to shut down the web site. But again he just said he was able to access the site using the proxy server and when he did that, he again gave away his ip address again by signing into the same account to that forum site making it easy for the owner of that site to spot him on.

[ArborlyBranch51]

To the best of my knowledge, the only way to fix this problem other than going through all that crap, just contact your internet provider and ask them to change your old IP address into a brand new 1, and once you do so, make sure you don't sign into the same account on that fonder site. Because if you do, the fonder of that site will continue to ban your IP address. Because to me he could of just deleted your user name and your email account to completely remove you from whoever own that forum site. But to my perceptive I think whoever own that forum site is clearly keeping your user name there to make it easy for them to catch you. So you gotta learn how to be elusive from that forum site and be smart other than falling into their trap. Also using a VPN network is a great way to protect your real IP address when you're surfing someone forum. Anybody that surf on the forum is automatically giving away their IP to that site. It the easy way for anybody to track ur activities on that forum so I hope that my info help better understand on how to be more careful next time when you're surfing on the forums.
