For some reason when I try to login to Netters on my iPad I get the msg that I'm banned and the ban is permanent.

When I login using the desktop machine here I am  ;D

Anyone any ideas on what's happening?  I'm using FireFox on the desktop and Safari on the iPad.  My only thought is that I use Firefox uBlock Origin on the desktop and the "Lite" version on the iPad and for some reason the iPad version is blocking something.

Maybe a VPN in play somewhere?

Didn't we have a conversation in PM relating to this?  Could it be your Private Relay hitting on a banned IP again?  I've checked our logs and can only see one IP which isn't your usual one, but that particular one didn't have a ban on it.

I think that was when I was playing with anonymous proxies.  This time I've done nothing at all and don't use one.  Safari does have its own proxies and since I use that on the iPad it's probably something to do with that.  I use FireFox on the Mini and that appears to have escaped the ban. So far.....

I'll have a play with the Safari setup and see what happens.

The problem is, without knowning the IP ranges of the Safari proxies, we can't identify if a ban on those IPs is in place.
