Hi guys, my name is Martyn Sanders.

My IP-Address (188.195.250.189) is currently banned from server and website (writing via another pc).
There is no one who banned me ingame or an admin who I talked to.
So I am really confused whats going on here.

Can please someone look for that and tell me the reason?
Or just maybe I got the ip (dhcp) of an banned guy.

Thanks for your time.

Martyn

Hi Martyn,
these last days MF has made a wave of banning by IP and yours may have been included, we will check it and see what we can do.

Hi Martyn,

The whole 188.195.*.* batch is IP banned. I don't remember the specific reason, but I think MonkeyFiend added it because of somebody constantly evading their ban.

I tried to add an exception for your IP, but:

1. it might not work as I don't have any documentation how to do that
2. it might stop working if your IP address changes
3. we still might need to remove the exception for some reason

So this is a test and probably a temporary solution. Please tell me if it works for you (make sure you still have this IP address).

Hi Robin,

thanks now I know whats going on.
Yeah I have the same IP for a longer time than usual (static IP).

Nope, the exception is not working.

Kind Regards
Martyn

That sucks. I'll see if I can figure out a way to fix that.

Hi guys,

thanks for your help and I could play the last weeks (as some of you may have seen) :-)

But today I could not connect again.
My IP is 188.195.250.189 (same as usual).
Can you check your exception pls?

And would it be possible to set an exception for the website, too?
I have to use another pc on another location to write to you…

Thanks for your time.

Hi Martyn,

There were quite a few stability problems with the server lately and MonkeyFiend reinstalled it a couple of days ago. During this he has removed the exception for your IP address. I'll add it back, but I need to catch the server empty. Probably tomorrow morning.

As for the forum, I have no access to its configuration. I think you need to wait for MonkeyFiend to fix this.

Done. You should be able to join again.

Hi my IP is banned 192.168.178.1 can some help for unban?

Hi - that's a private IP, like part of your internal network so not something that is banned on.
However I've seen you in game tonight so assume not banned?
