IP Address Blocked...help!!

Starcat1

Hello all! Over the past year I've started enjoying comping. I mainly enter online via email, on Twitter and occasionally FB and IG. I tried to enter a comp today and got z message saying my IP Address is blocked. I'm worried and mystified about this. Does this mean my emails aren't getting through? I'm an average internet user, not a business, no visiting of dodgy sites! I'm mystified. Is it because I'm entering competitions? :eek:

This happens to me every now and then. It's usually my ad blocker settings. I try a different browser and all is fine again (in the new browser).

Thankyou I'll try that!

Go to https://www.whatismyip.com/

and write down the number you get for IPV4 (something like 12.1.123.123).

Then turn off your router (unplug it from the power) wait about 10 minutes, turn it back on and then go to that same website again and see if your IP has changed. If that doesn't work you might have to turn it off for longer, perhaps overnight ... unless you have a static IP address, unlikely unless you specifically asked for it.
