@@@cupcak.... def not.

I tried clearing the cache, doing the update, changing all kinds of safari settings, restarted my internet modem for the house and finally gave up and asked my friend in the room to turn their hotspot on. I think it has something to do with my internet provider settings. It's done it before back in December 2024 and I messaged ck thinking I was banned or something.

Eventually, it started connecting/ loading again shortly after I emailed him. idk what I did to get it to work last time so/ but if anyone has any other ideas... lmkkkkkk ~ I guess ill use a hotspot until then.

Thank y'all for the help!!

(obv everyone except cupcak who has no idea who I am/ thinks I'm an idiot and hadn't obv emailed ck before posting here)

i think that "The administrator has banned your IP address." is really just some check/control logic in the software spitting that out when it compares your IP addr to some configured list of "suspect" IP addrs.

i seriously doubt ck or whoever is "banning" your IP addr.



katheryn, wrt "something to do with my internet provider settings.",
if you go to another wifi system, are you able to sign in?

It's almost amusing, but says a lot about how that "site" is managed. Somebody who paid for a membership to "not this site" posted that once he did, it listed "non-paying members, access to 20 servers; paying members; access to 60 servers".


It may be a simple bandwidth problem, but instead of posting, "Demand exceeds available servers, please try again later." that site responds with "Administrators have banned your IP address" BS.


I use the largest private network of VPN servers in the world. I'll get the above message, go back later the same day or the next day and route through the same servers, and I get in.



It's totally random, not dependent on your OS (I have several), cache, browser (although some browsers have the bad habit of transmitting every URL you visit to your ISP), VPN or lack of VPN.


Stop tying yourself up in knots over a site that is using 15 year old (at least) BB software and is an incredible security risk for anyone not using a robust VPN / TOR combinations.

Yes I’m getting the same message about my ip address being blocked. Reached out to admin no reply. But when I log in on a different device it works fine
ck1942 has responded to my emails-twice-
ck 1942 <ck1942@gmail.com>
ips connected to spammers are quite often banned. noting you did per se, but hiding hyour ip or using a vpn is likely what happened.

No clue here. Either set browser to open or vpn to show Canada
