What is a range ban exactly? My computer crashed and after doing a few updates I got hit with one. Only the computer is range banned and other devices are fine on the same wifi since my roommates also dont have a problem. The notification says to wait for it to fix but its been a few days.
internet and computer networking are basically black magicnot even joking in the leastyou can blame shit code and AI slop, but your case is something that happens, even if you deleted all cookies, use new browser, use same wifi, etc. certain things just don't make sense, and have no real explanation
>What is a range ban exactly?On 4chan, it's mostly a lie. It says that when it doesn't recognize your particular computer, for some people but not others, based on criteria I do not understand; it does not actually have a range ban at all.>Only the computer is range banned and other devices are fine on the same wifi since my roommates also dont have a problem.If it was an actual range ban, this would not be the case.>The notification says to wait for it to fix but its been a few days.Trying repeatedly will usually get it lifted eventually after an unpredictable amount of time.
Try a different browser; if it's not a true rangeban then it has something to do with 4chan or cloudflare blocking your browser agent.
>>1577505>>1577513>>1577543I was wrong it says temp block. I tried disabling things like ubo and neXT, tried Edge and it's all the same. I'll keep trying to post but it keeps giving the long captcha tests that use too much brain power.
>>1577504Does it let you enter a spam email? I get a range ban at my brother's place, but it lets me post if I feed my spambox. Clearly not a real ban then
>>1577545Yes but I dont want to associate my emails here. If a month passes without the block lifted I might do it.
>>1577546>I dont want to associate my emails hereJust make more accounts bruh
>>1577504Try letting a mod in the IRC know of your predicament
>>1577513Could something as dumb as a private/incognito tab flag the range ban message?
This is a wild guess which just popped up in my mind iirc range ban is a ban of IP adresses across a whole area This doesnt fit your explanation can Websites ban mac-adresses? If its possible you could try changing the mac of your banned pc into a mac of a device that works (e.g. the mac of your roomie)If you reset the Router (i assume you already tried this step before) to get a new IP, change the mac and try again with resetted cookies anything that adresses your pc as banned would have been changed unless i forgot something or did some wrongthink there
>>1577696I recall an event in the past that the entire Finnish ISP space was range banned at 4chan for a short moment. I heard much later that it had something to do with early steps with VPN services adoption. Or at least that was the explanation.
>>1577677Yes, absolutely.
Still temp blocked.
Not OP, but I'm range banned too. I wonder if we have the same ISP/live in the same state or something
I'm still temp blocked. It might go all month.
I am also blocked, been over 2 weeks now.
One more week until a month long temp ban.
