I have to view this site from my cellphone at home, ever since I moved into a new neighborhood. Can anyone shine some light on this and possibly fix?

I would remove your Ip asap, and only provide it to the admins, as they are the ones that can fix it.

Sometimes we block IPs of spammers or members who have been banned repeatedly. If you recently moved, it is possible that you could have been caught in the crossfire, so to speak. Its happened before. I'll let Tran know, as he's the only one who can ban or un-ban IP addresses.

Not being moderators, you have no idea how persistent some of these spammers and trolls are. They'll come back with 1000 accounts just to post gore pictures and links to sketchy websites.

I can't imagine how bored you have to be to go through that effort just to get your posts deleted again.

OPTIONS:

1. Connect using a proxy/portal service that masks your WAN IP.

2. Connect to a VPN with split tunneling (ENA) disabled. Force all port 80 traffic through the tunnel.

3. If you have multiple WAN IP's, choose a different IP in your subnet assigned by your ISP. Pass all traffic outbound through your new IP with a dynamic source NAT rule over the new IP.

4. Powercycle your modem and see if your ISP assigns a new IP.

5. Cell Phone tethering.

6. Crack a neighbors AP and use their internet.

Most likely what happened is your IP was probably blocked based on the subnet, meaning an administrator went to block someone who was banned/spammed that originated from very similar IP's within the same subnet and ended up blocking the entire subnet.

Example:
Your IP: 172.16.1.100
Admin Blocked: 172.16.1.0/24 or 172.16.1.*
