● What is IP blocking?

IP blocking, my dear interlocutor, refers to the practice of restricting or denying access to a particular IP address or range of IP addresses. IP stands for Internet Protocol, which is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to a network. IP blocking can be regarded as a safety measure for the target website, preventing the website from suspicious activity, network crash and etc.

● Why is my IP address blocked?

When an IP address is blocked, it means that the network or service implementing the block has decided to prevent any communication or access from that specific IP address. This can be done for various reasons, such as:

○ Security: IP blocking is often employed as a security measure to prevent unauthorized access or attacks from specific IP addresses that are deemed suspicious or known to engage in malicious activities.
○ Content restriction: Certain websites or services may block access from specific IP addresses or regions to comply with legal requirements or enforce their own content policies. This could be done to limit access to copyrighted material, adult content, or to comply with local regulations.
○ Anti-spam measures: IP blocking can be used to combat spam or unwanted communication. If an IP address is identified as a source of spam or abusive behavior, it may be blocked to prevent further misuse.
○ Geo-blocking: Some online services or content providers may restrict access based on geographical location. By blocking IP addresses associated with specific regions, they can control who can access their services or content.

IP blocking can be circumvented through the use of proxies, which can help disguise your IP address and bypass the restrictions.
