I have a QNAP NAS and didn’t know about the blocked IP addresses until recently. I uninstalled Music Station a couple of years ago, but I must have been banned before I did that. I’m on the current QTS version, and do not use any of the QNAP multimedia programs. My IP is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Thanks!
Hi,
Can you check the blocklist for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ?
I also cannot connect to musicbrainz.org.
Thanks a lot!
@eriji @WillyWhale your IPs were in the QNAP list, now removed, you should now have access to all our services. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi. I am unable to access Musicbrainz or use Picard since past few days. I believe my IP address is also blacklisted. But I switched off my router at night for an IP address refresh. I have a new IP address now, but I am still unable to access the services except by going on my mobile phone data.
I don’t understand what these QNAP services or devices are. The only change I’ve had in the past month in my household is install iTunes for my new iPhone and getting a new Wi-Fi router.
My IP address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The IP you recently got was probably used by bad guys few days ago and was temporarily listed in public blacklists. That’s unrelated to QNAP devices for once.
I refreshed our lists and it was removed, so you should now be able to access all our services. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just read this. No problem. I appreciate the prompt help.
Not much, that’s just bad luck in this case. Though you can always contact me if it happens again, we’ll advise.

It seems my IP is blocked as well, despite i do not have a QNAP device.
Tracert ends by a Hetzner Server
My ip is 82.207.238.59
Btw. dnslookup at mxtoolbox doesn’t show a AAAA Record for musicbrainz. Is this correct?
Hey @Voidi
I unblocked your IP, sorry for the inconvenience.
And yes, musicbrainz.org hasn’t a AAAA record yet, because it doesn’t support IPv6 yet, but this is something on the work.

Thank your for quick response.
Hi, I think my IP may have been blacklisted as well. I can access MusicBrainz through a proxy but not through my home network.
The traceroute ends at

Thank you
Edit: I use this python script to aid in searching for albums. Maybe that’s being picked up as scraping.
