Posting from a mobile network

Often when I want to post over 4G it says that the IP is banned. Not the end of the world, but mildly irritating. :)

There were 3 specific IP addresses on the banned list, so you must have been really unlucky to get one of those. Or I'd banned you in the past and couldn't remember why :shock: Either way, I've removed them.

I don't know how IPs work for 4G, is it based on the transmitter?

Carrier grade NAT usually. You're NAT'd at the mobile network.

I’ve been banned from posting on 4G in the past. Usually, flight mode and then back to normal sorts it.

The only other thing it could be is the setting "Check IP against DNS Blackhole List"

I thought it was only on registration, but it may actually be an anytime thing. I've turned it off, registrations are still manual anyway so it shouldn't impact anything. Maybe you keep getting into the blackhole, Duncs. :shock:
