Hi @Zas,
It seems it’s my turn to be blocked.

I get ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED while I’m still receiving edit note emails from other editors, who apparently can browse and edit MB.

The same canyouseeme.org says I’m 92.184.106.146 (smartphone).

@jesus2099 this IP was blocked since a long time, unrelated to last issues, I unblocked it.

Thank you, it works!

I’m on smartphone, so I guess the IP always changes… :thinking:

351

Now I’m blocked again with 92.184.118.109 (Sosh/Orange).

352

Unblocked, it was blocked a while ago because of abuse.

Hi @Zas, can you check [redacted], please? I’m based in Peru and haven’t been able to access for a few days now without turning on a VPN. Thanks!

I’m blocked again on same mobile phone: 92.184.116.69

I hope my unblockings won’t allow spammers and AI bots in…

It’s not urgent as I can simply turn WiFi on, if I’m at home.

Update:

My IP changed and now it’s ok.

@Zas Hello again, unfortunately i was blocked again, on the same ip: 179.49.183.141

362

See if it is better now, you likely changed IP (the one provided wasn’t blocked, but the whole /24 was).

363

Hi @Zas, could you check xxx.xxx.xx.xx? I’m based in Brazil as well, and I’ve been unable to access the database via the app. I think I got blocked about a week ago. Thanks!

364

The whole /24 IP range was blocked, as a lot of addresses from Brazil because there were used massively by rogue AI bots recently.
Unblocked now, sorry for the inconvenience.

365

Thanks a lot!! Now it’s working!

366

Hi @Zas Sorry to bother you with yet another Brazilian user, but my IP 200.236.251.31 has been blocked

It was blocked a couple weeks ago, then a few days, I decided to try again and I was able to use it. But now it is blocked again :frowning:
