Made one post, next morning I get [[error:blacklisted-ip]]

Hi,
I made a post last night about static rule config on the 4200, and this morning when I came to see if there were any updates, I got the following response:
[[error:blacklisted-ip]]

Can any admin help? Hopefully my phone doesn't get blacklisted too ...

Thanks

FYI for others that may find this - I replied to an email I'd received previously from support, got a request for my IP address, and it was fixed within minutes of me providing it.

I figured I had been black listed and so stopped using this area. I had been having a problem getting to the community area. So I was looking at my PFsense dashboard to find that 290 is available, and started trying to find info on it to find that others are having problems with Synology file server(s).

So what happened?

With regards to synology, if I connect via rj45 and then go wifi, it works. If I try to do Wifi first, can't make the connections.

Whatever it is, or was, don't worry, it's not you as a person.
Most probably : the IP you use to connect to the Internet, the IP your ISP gave you, was used previously by some one who managed to get his activities on the Internet been 'rewarded'. The IP became listed.
If some one misbehaves on the Internet, it's not the name of that person that gets listed or is known. Only the IP that he/she was using.
