When I logged into SH on Chrome I was blocked. "Your IP address has been blocked from access." I tried it with Firefox and got the same result. I'm logged in now using Nord VPN that blocks my IP address from being seen. Strange.
I was able to log into Acoustic Guitar Forum and other places with no VPN and no issues.
Weird.

Probably one of those glitches I have heard about.

I remember having a similar issue years back and e mailing Epaul about it. His response: "We took a vote and you're out!"

I'm logged in now using Nord VPN that blocks my IP address from being seen. Strange. I was able to log into Acoustic Guitar Forum and other places with no VPN and no issues. Weird. Factorychef has had this issue too and with a different VPN. The problem is that the VPN substitutes your real IP address with a made up one to mask your location. If that made up IP looks like it’s from a blocked country or area, access will be denied. Try logging in without the VPN then activate the VPN after logging in here. You can also tell Nord VPN to use an IP from the US or UK or somewhere that isn’t blocked.

I got bounced with my normal IP address. I got in using the VPN. Right now I’m on my phone. I’ll try my computer again later.

I didn't look at VPNs or anything but it just took me forever to put up a new post with a link.

So, I don't know what monkey business was going on this morning. VPNs have that issue on occasion. Certain ip addresses get used for something bad, get blacklisted, but the vpn provider doesn’t take them off line. So you randomly get a blacklisted ip and whitelist only site block you. Just reconnect to the vpn and try again.

As I said before, the problem arises when I'm NOT on a VPN. When I go on a VPN I can get in.
Yet, last evening I got in without the VPN. But this morning I was kicked out again.

The problems seems to be logging in to the SH. Maybe our site-editors secretly blocked your IP address. Web sites can do that if they want. Is the SH trying to send you a message? Just sayin... Conspiracies happen ALL THE TIME. A soudhole deep state "could" exist.
