Hello,

My home address is being blocked when trying to access FTH sites. 99.236.116.151

Trying to access stoneycreektoastmasters.com (club 7976) or grimsbytoastmasters.toastmastersclubs.org/ (club1415201).

I cleared out some old chrome extensions that may have been causing an issue.

Thanks.

The firewall blocked you because it said you were a bot.

Thank you,

Did it give any other context? I’m definitely not a bot nor running any bots.

Not in the logs any more.

Thank you,

That IP was used by a bot attack on the server.
I have removed the block but it will be blocked again if the attack happens again.

Thank you,

Thanks. It happens to be one of our senior members who is not that tech savvy. So her internet provider could be the culprit?

All depends on how the Provider allocates and reallocates IP addresses.

Thank you,

Good point. I advised her to call her ISP and report this problem as well. Thanks so much.

I wouldn't bother unless it happens again.
