AskWoody LoungerJust received multiple messages reading, “Your access to this site has been limited by the site owner”
Looks like Woody has been working hard with Wordfence overnight.
He has blocked a large number of our VPN’s servers that I have been using to connect to the site.
Moving forward it looks as if I will have extremely limited access to Woody’s site.

ManagerYou are being blocked because your IP addresses issued by the VPN are dirty (have been used for spamming, etc). Please read through this thread for an explanation.

ManagerI do work day and night, but nevermind.
My guess is that your VPN got hit by a bunch of creeps overnight.

AskWoody PlusI am pleased that AskWoody is diligent in keeping the site as secure as it is useful even though this entails some inconvenience for me. It is my experience that an increasing number of websites have begun to block access when a VPN is involved. This includes some financial ones that I would most want to access with a VPN from a “public wifi” location. My guess is that in another year a VPN is going to be nearly useless for any serious work for me but still useful for some internet shopping.

No VPN – just a normal British Telecom IP address. I have tried it with four different IP addresses, all with th same message (attached). Strangely, I can post here, but cannot start a new question/tread in the Windows 1909 forum.
Cheers
