Title: Banned?
Post by: 3kgtSL91 on May 07, 2015, 06:28:47 PM
So I am in Turkey right now and I tried to login and as soon as I did it says I am banned for life? I am like freaking out. Now I am trying to do remotely though my work PC that is in the USA and it works just fine. Is this some kind of security measure?

Have you tried using a VPN? It is most likely a security measure. I use a vpn everyday for stuff like this.

Yeah, it must be a glitch or maybe the IP you happened upon in Turkey is banned.

Thats hardcore!  I'm a security advocate (its my line of work), but this forum is public!!!

Unless, you are working at a location that blocks this site and you are using a VPN to circumvent censorship! DoD does this crap!

If you block UDP 500, you shut down any sort of ESP... which means VPN no worky. So VPN is the plausible way to get through most censorships.

Depends on what kind of VPN you are using not all VPN's need port 500.
