Hi,

So went to the Gamespot website on my iPhone from the same bookmark I have used since day dot (via 3G mobile data) but this time I get a page come up saying "your current IP address *ip address* has been blocked" then goes on to list a load of weird reasons why it could have happened but none make sense to me. At the bottom it says if you think this was a mistake email ipbans@gamespot.com.

Got home and connected to wifi and got onto Gamespot fine (using the same bookmark in Safari) so I got confused. Search google and couldn't find anything apart from this website: gamespots.xyz which is and identical message (apart from the IP address) so alarm bells are now ringing!!

Anyone heard of this or known what the hell is going on?

Thanks!

This has been dealt with. Bad configuration in our firewall. Move along, nothing to see here.
