Support Is my IP banned?

[Dc111]

Having to use a VPN to get here to ask.

I log onto the site 30+ times a day, so wondering if my IP is banned for them thinking it's spam.

I will go to simpcity.su and it never loads. Occurred about an hour ago, was fine till then. Works on Data but not WIFI.

I am in NA

 

[Dc111]

Still not working for me without VPN, sigh

 

[Dc111]

Having my ISP change my IP, let's see what happens.

Still nothing.

Is there a mod/site admin that can see if my IP is blocked?

If your IP was blocked you would see a screen explicitly telling you that your IP is blocked.

working for me again on wifi but trying on data from my phone is still broken lol, just never loads or says the site mightve moved adress

 

[mvmcd]

Same problem here, guys.
How can I solve it?

 

[Dc111]

Worked for 10 minutes last night, tried today, broken again 😞

 

[skolk]

Broken for me as well

I can't use the site on my home internet. I don't use a VPN, the only way for me to write this post is from mobile data. You seem to have blocked some legitimate IP ranges

An IP ban looks like one of these two:



For those of you not seeing that but seeing some other error screen you need to post a screenshot so we can diagnose. No screenshot = ignored, we cant guess what you are seeing or what the issue is.
Most likely it was the DNS issues we had yesterday which while are resolved, may not have propagated to your particular ISPs DNS servers. You can get round this by setting your DNS server to cloudflare 1.1.1.1 which is what I had to do yesterday but have since reset to default

Same issue in the past week. I can load the site, but to log in I have to use a VPN. Otherwise the page will just hang indefinitely

That's probably it. I just get ERR_TIMED_OUT. I'll give it a few days

 

[Dc111]

By chance does DNS.adguard.com / dns.adguard-dns.com get blocked or restricted?

I was fine, then I tried on mobile, which I have the above set to, and it blocked my access again

 

[Coomer Zoomer]

No I use DNs.adguard.com and it is 100% not blocked. As for the other one, no clue

Tested home isp, 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9, adguard, they all work fine here.

 

[Dc111]

It is 100% something with the DDOS Checker. I can get to the site, but the moment it tries to check, it dies and kills the connection, but what is causing it?

 

[RandomUsername23423]

Having the same issue. I get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Using Xfinity if that helps at all.
Tried changing my DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 with no difference.

Switched to my cellphone data on T-Mobile and it worked.

Same for me, when i try to access the forum it loads the homepage but with broken images, if i try to reload or login the pages doesn't even load anymore.
If i try it with a VPN it works.

I get this 403 IP ban, only a few short hours a day i can only open the site, it started ~30 hours ago.

It's working now.

Worked for 8 minutes today, clicked thread and it blocked me again. I am truly stumped. Is my network hacked and being used to DDOS? Is it a network issue elsewhere?
