Geekhack blacklisted IP
« on: Sat, 04 April 2020, 12:07:43 »
Oh boy, that got the heart racing. I sat down at my computer, fired up the VPN, attempted to log on to Geekhack, and got a notification that I've been banned.  :eek: :eek:

A million question ran through my mind. Is it my VPN? Turned off VPN, and logged on just fine. Phew :confused:

What are the odds that we've blacklisted certain IPs. Obviously, this happens with VPNs from time to time, but I've never seen this on Geekhack before. Is this new?

There are lots of banned IPs and it's not unusual for more than one to be added each day due to spam accounts.  There are also some which belonged to banned members perhaps years ago so if you get unlucky you could get one of them following a power cut (at least in the UK we're generally still not on static IPs...) - if in doubt try another device/connection.

Also see the sticky in announcements.  Not sure if it still applies, would be good to know if it doesn't so it can be updated :thumb:

That's exactly what I ended up doing: cleared cookies and switched VPN regions. Everything is hunky dory. This is the problem with large VPN provides, I guess.

In an effort to prevent access to the forums by Ripster all public VPN services, AWS, Azure, etc have been blacklisted.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
