So Saturday night, I went to one of my favorite websites, and instead of my usual greeting, I received this message:

You have been denied access to this forum. The reason is that you are visiting us from a place that has been blacklisted as an Open Proxy. You have to fix this, and return. If you want to know exactly where you are blacklisted, go see www.tornevall.net/cgi-bin/ip.cgi.

I went through and delisted myself from a bunch of places, and I went to visit the forum the next morning, and all seemed to be fixed. Only thing is, this morning, I found out I've been blacklisted again. Does anyone here know how to fix this for good, and has anyone here experienced a similar problem? Thanks.

Virus scan.

I already did a complete scan of my computer. It told me that I had zero viruses. That was two nights ago, I just updated my anti-virus security last night, so I don't think it's a virus. I'll do another scan just to be sure.

Or some fuckhead on your ISP decided to play with some toys that were not meant for him. Sometimes admin ban whole ISPs... Hell, even countries. I should know, Poland's been banned from quite a few torrent trackers. Do you have the same problem with any other sites?

Cobalt & Calcium is the only site thus far that's been giving me trouble, every other site works just fine. I went through and delisted myself again. I was cleared from all of them save for one, which says I'll be auto-delisted in a week. I'm on a college ISP, it might be that that's the source of the problem.

UPDATE: Well, I came up with a solution that seems to be working. I disconnected from my apartment's network and went on-campus to use their Wi-Fi, and I now have a new IP address and am not on any more blacklists. I just won't reconnect to the apartment network, and just use the campus Wi-Fi until I go back home (where I'll be on my parents ISP), and next year, I'll be living in a house away from campus. That'll show those hacker fucks to try and hack Enshin's computer!
