I've tried strictly WiFi and strictly cellular, but it's blocked me both ways. I'm able to get through now with a VPN.

What gives?

Also, in the IP blocked logs, the past days have been from Ukraine, Russia, Vietnam, Ghana and India. Are you in any of those countries?
 
Thank you for the reply. I don't think I can recreate the episode. I was at a restaurant in ATL when it occurred. Now, my phone doesn't have a problem connecting,

I wasn't using a VPN when I was blocked. I left the restaurant and went to a Costco and still had the same problem. That's when I switched to VPN, and could get through.

The https://whatismyipaddress.com/ is a cool site. Thank you. I was wondering how to see my IP address. That helps a lot. Everything is copacetic now. Your response is, and will be, very helpful.
 
Hello! Having the same IP address ban problem. I'm visiting family overseas, and I can't access SB on the WiFi connection (static IP). Is there any chance you can whitelist my specific IP?
