Introduction
If your IP address has been blocked from accessing your account, you may not be able to sign in until the block is removed. This article explains why IP blocks happen, how to request an unblock, and how to reduce the chance of it happening again.
Issue description
An IP address block is a security measure that prevents access from a specific network or device location. It is commonly triggered by multiple failed login attempts, unusual sign-in activity, or other security restrictions designed to protect your account.
Signs
- You receive an error message saying your IP address is blocked.
- You cannot access your account from your current network.
- Login attempts are rejected even when your username and password are correct.
- Access may work from a different network or mobile connection.
Basic troubleshooting steps
- Wait a few minutes and try again if you have made multiple failed login attempts.
- Try signing in from a different network, if available.
- Disable any VPN or proxy service and try again.
- Check whether your organization's firewall or security settings may be affecting access.
Contact support
If you still cannot access your account, contact support and request an IP unblock. Include your current IP address in your message so the team can review the block and assist you faster.
You can find your current IP address by searching What is my IP in your browser or by checking your network settings.
What to include in your request
- Your account email address or username
- Your current IP address
- A brief description of the issue
- The approximate time the block started, if known
- Any error message you received
Tips to avoid future blocks
- Avoid repeated login attempts if your password is not working.
- Use a password manager to reduce sign-in errors.
- Keep your account credentials secure and up to date.
- Avoid using shared or public networks when possible.
- If your IP address changes often, let support know so they can advise on the best approach.
Summary
IP blocks are usually caused by failed login attempts or security protections. If you are blocked, contact support with your current IP address and account details so the issue can be reviewed and resolved.
