Why did I get the message 'your IP has been banned' and how do I fix it? or Got the 'your IP has been

Hey! The "your ip has been banned" thing can happen for loads of reasons.

Maybe:
- Someone on your network messed up (roommate/kid?).
- You’re on a VPN/proxy the site hates.
- Site’s security is just overzealous.

Quick fixes:
- Restart router (might get new IP).
- Use a diff device/network to contact support.
- Try a VPN like TunnelBear (but some sites block em).

If it’s a temp ban, waiting a few hours might work. Otherwise, support’s the way to go.
