My IP address is banned?

[moltenskull]

Hello,

I have been a member of this forum since a decade. Since morning, I am getting the message - My IP Address has been banned when using Opera's built in VPN. Turning off the VPN makes the forum accessible again. Please let me know what's wrong. I haven't posted any threads and messages lately but I am a frequent visitor.

Mods ,please move this thread to the appropriate section. I could not find the correct forum feedback thread.

Thanks,
moltenskull.

Weird, it's now accessible again using Opera VPN?

Back to square one using optimal location in Opera VPN.

Which location are you using the VPN of? I have banned IP ranges from some countries such as Ukraine, Russia, Vietnam, etc. since we get a lot of spammers from these locations. Perhaps this is what's triggering this message.

Currently, switched off VPN. However, when selecting "optimal location" usually triggers this warning/ message. The IP for the same - Sweden-based. Please also note, selecting Asia in the VPN settings (usually) gives no ip ban message (though I haven't checked which country).
