IP ban

[Jeffe]

Hi,

This morning when I tried to access devzone, it says I have been IP banned. I have the same issue as this ticket: 

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/86922/why-my-ip-is-banned

my IP is [redacted]

Similar to the person in this ticket, I have no malicious activity on this website.

I suspect this might be a wider issue? Devzone is a very important resource and I hope there can be a solution soon so I can browse devzone without needing to use a vpn

I have a similar issue, and so does my colleague. can't access devzone via our work PC or cellphone.

had to rely on VPN for now..but what caused this? we've been using devzone from when it was launched, without issues.

is the solution to post our IP addresses publicly so Nordic whitelists them? doesn't sound like a scalable solution..

It seems like i can access the website without VPN again, not sure what the issue was but it seems to have been fixed.

Hopefully the mistaken ban doesn't resume like that other ticket

[Farhang]

nope still have the same issue

Jeffe, I got your IP unblocked and it will hopefully stay that way.

Farhang, could you let me know your IP address so I can request yours to get unbanned as well? You can send me it in a DM if you want.

I do not know what has been causing all these IPs to become blocked, but I know it is being investigated now by those who are responsible for the site, and I hope it will be resolved soon.

Thank you!
