I have a quick question...

[Sipher]

Does anyone have any clue why I randomly got signed out with the message "Your IP is banned"? I was not able to sign into my account for 5+ minutes and have no clue if it is for anything I have done, does that happen sometimes and is there anyway to make sure it doesn't happen again?

Thanks

It means you share an IP with someone who got IP-banned, but it was later found to be a false positive

Were you using a vpn? That could be why

Ah. Thanks, Yeah never had an account been banned but I am on holiday using internet at a holiday home thing not sure if that has anything to do with it though.[DOUBLEPOST=1513338044][/DOUBLEPOST]

No but I am not at my house right now meaning I have a different IP so that could be the problem.

Are you at a relative's house or on a public connection?
Even if you are at a relative's or friend's house, due to IPv4 shortage, many ISPs re-use IP addresses, so it may be that someone somewhere else entirely is the one that got banned and wherever you are now is just collateral.
