Help, my IP is blocked
posted by henktimSTAFFMOD on June 13, 2015 at 7:24 AM
Hello Themoviedb.org,
For some reason i am not able to get on themoviedb.org from home. NginX tells me access denied. From other locations/ip addresses I have no problems accessing your website.
I think my IP has been blocked for some reason. my ip address is: 82.173.198.158
Can you please let me know why my IP is blocked and how we can unblock it?
Kind regards, Jombo

Hi guys,
If you could just send me an email at travis@themoviedb.org with your IP I'll make sure to get the blocks removed.
We were fighting some massive login abuse yesterday by a botnet and no doubt your IPs got caught in the C block.
Thanks!
