[Solved]Problem with volunteers.joomla.org and banned IP
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2015 8:23 pm
I'm unable to open any volunteers.joomla.org resource. It seems my IP is blocked at server side after some actions which I'll describe below. There is no ping to volunteers.joomla.org subdomain.
It all happen when I tried to save "Joomla story" page. I got a message: "403 server error" or something like that - just typical server error. I was surprised. Clicked "back" button in browser and tried to save the page once again. Got the same error. I've tried once more several times to repeat saving the page and, as a result, all Joomla resources located on the same server with volunteers resource cannot be opened. I suppose there is something like Fail2Ban defense on server side and my IP was blocked automatically after several attempts to save the page since the system considered it as an attempt of hacking.
I'm requesting to remove my IP from ban list and asking to check out edit mode in user profile at volunteers.joomla.org.
I'm ready to send my IP via PM.
Could anybody help me with this issue?
