Banned IP

Dear all,

as I´m using a VPN (working outside my home country at the moment) to acess the forum, I get always blocked as the IP itself seems to get blocked. My account itself is fine.
Maybe you could check if the IP 155.94.207.116 (and maybe others related to the same network) really have to get blocked in general as it makes the usage of the forum much more complicated for me.
If I can help you providing further information, please let me know.
For the moment, I added an exception to exclude the forum from the VPN. But this is not working on all devices.

Thankss and best regards,
Matthias

But the scrap get no result during scrap :

Code:
