Help with Temporary IP Block Issues?

I recently got a message saying, "Your IP has been temporarily blocked," and I can’t access some sites I use regularly. It’s happening more often, and I’m not sure what’s causing it. I’m not using any bots or doing anything unusual, just browsing normally. Has anyone else experienced this? I’d love to know how to fix it since it's really slowing down my work. Could it be something with my internet provider or a specific setting?

Getting blocked by your IP is frustrating, especially when you're not doing anything wrong. It can happen if the site mistakenly flags your activity as suspicious or if your IP is part of a shared range with others who are misbehaving online. Using a VPN can help you avoid these blocks. For more detailed steps, I’d recommend checking out this guide how to unblock my ip address ?. It explains how to get unblocked and prevent this from happening again. Also, you might want to look into resetting your network settings as a precaution. Hope this helps!

Yes, I’ve run into this problem before, and it can be really annoying. Sometimes, it’s caused by a site detecting multiple requests from the same IP in a short period, even if it’s just you refreshing the page. Shared IPs, especially from public Wi-Fi or dynamic IPs from ISPs, can also trigger blocks. Have you tried clearing your browser cookies or changing your IP by restarting your router? If the issue keeps happening, it might help to use a VPN or contact the site’s support.
