Hey there,

 

Not sure if this is the correct section, but I tried accessing a vehicle page from my Windows VPS, clicked the "Download this file" button, then go a bag fat "Banned", as seen below:

 

 

I've removed the reference since it was my VPS' IP, but I'm happy to provide it in private to whoever needs it.

 

My account does not appear to be banned since I am able to post this thread, but not being able to download stuff from my VPS is a bit of pain lol, anyone able to provide some guidance?

Thanks

To protect our community, certain ISPs are blocked.

There are a few blocks that exist on LCPDFR.com:

• Hard blocks: These are blocks we place on entire ISPs where we have found that receive huge levels of abuse with them with little recourse. For example, certain server companies will not acknowledge or act on abuse reports, a minimum expected service. For security reasons, these blocks don't generally get lifted.
• Interactivity blocks: These are blocks we place on entire ISPs where we have found that they do not provide residential ISP services. For example, less problematic server companies and less problematic VPN companies. These blocks will not allow registration / logins from these ranges, and can sometimes trigger manual approval of content. These blocks don't get lifted unless we find evidence that they supply residential ISP services.
• Individual blocks (IP or account): These are blocks we apply on individual users for violating our community guidelines repeatedly. These blocks are generally lifted after 6 months.

Unfortunately, from the reference number shown in your screenshot, the particular block is a hard block. That means the server company has been used to spam/abuse LCPDFR.com and we haven't had any response from the ISP.

Thanks for your response Cyan,

 

That's a shame to hear, since I'm with OVH and I was under the impression they were quite a reputable company; regardless, I understand your point of view, and will just download stuff to my PC, then move it to my VPS the old fashioned way haha.

 

Thanks!

I’m having the same problem being banned from the site but it only happens occasionally. Sometimes I’m banned and won’t be able to access the site for hours, but then randomly I’ll be able to reconnect and download mods. Ref# xxx.xxx.188.66 MAR 166.

Are you using VPN or proxy server? Please see my previous reply for explanations on our bans. The IP and MAR reference look like they are referencing a commercial server provider and not a residential ISP.
