I keep losing my access. My ISP IP changes and then access works for a day or two, then is blocked again.

Currently, my IP is ---------

I assume it is being blocked for a reason?

Hi there are no restrictions from the address you posted, is it still currently blocked? Can you PM me directly and we can further see what is going on

Will do, thanks.

I am blocked too with starlink.

jimk · 11-03-2025, 11:03 PM

I’m also blocked using Starlink.

Aidzer0 · 11-05-2025, 12:13 PM

I’m on Starlink too and always get the timeout error. I checked DNS and firewall, both are not the cause.

Feanor · 11-06-2025, 01:23 AM

I'm having problems too, and have been for weeks. I sometimes seem to be able to get around the issues with a VPN; it's how I'm able to write this from my phone, but didn't help on my Mac.

There are posts on Reddit going back months about people having the same issue.

Can the site admins please review site security? I literally (literally literally) don't have this problem with any other website on the whole Internet

Did you post this from VPN or from the blocked location?

danf · 11-07-2025, 04:59 PM

Blocked on starlink. The unblocked for a short while and now blocked again. Anyway to fix this? Thanks

I believe I was on VPN, on my phone. Surfshark.

But now I'm on my Mac, and the forum isn't working with VPN but is working without.

It's all very odd, and kind of annoying.

Its getting impossible to use the forums. It hardly ever works unless i am in the US.

Same here from Spain. Many days it’s impossible for me to access from home in both the PC and iPad…

When is the last time you had this problem? Today?

Feanor · 11-18-2025, 04:46 AM

It's working for me now without VPN, if you've been doing things behind the scenes Apptest to try and resolve it then thanks for your efforts!

Feanor · 11-23-2025, 12:40 PM

Update - today, on both my iPhone 15 Pro with the latest iOS and my 2019 MBP with the latest MacOS I can only access the forum using a VPN to the UK. I can't access it either without VPN or using a VPN to Germany (I tend to use either UK or German VPNs for media access, as we're a British-German family).

chassis · 11-23-2025, 10:54 PM

xbimmers.com was unreachable from a U.S. access point for the past 2 days.

Sorry, I did not see your message until now. I can’t remember when I wrote the post, but today is the first day in the last three ones that I have been able to access…
