Solved I can't access Retrogametalk for some reason

[nobitakun]

Hello, since this morning, I can't access this website for some reason from my router IP, but I can from my phone's 4G connection and if I use a VPN in my computer, so I suspect my ISP public IP got banned for some unknown reason. I was using the website fine early in the morning and after a few minutes I couldn't load any page, so I thought it might be under manteinance but the truth is what I explained.

How can my IP get unbanned, so I can continue using the site normally? I turned off my router for a couple of hours but my IP didn't change, so I don't want to stay like that waiting for it to change.

Thanks.

Try calling them? And if they refuse to cooperate. Switch to an Internet Service Provider [ISP] who is more lenient. Or use a VPN.

We don't ban you it's your ISP that block us.
Try switching to google DNS

I actually encountered that same problem when registering, and ended up opening on Firefox, which worked just fine. I'm not sure why tho
?

I am from Spain, and this is the first time happening. In Spain ISP's usually don't block anything because our law focuses on "internet rights" instead of listening to big media companies to prosecute people when they do "bad" things on internet. The definition of downloading anything and using it for oneself is legal in Spain and no company can do anything against, that's why banning a site, regardless of its nature is something that is very rare here.

By the way Spike, what you told me actually helped, I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and it worked, but then I restored my ISP's DNS's and it is working now, even after flushing the DNS cache.

I really don't know what was going on, because I even restarted my computer, but the thing is that now it is working again.

Thank you everyone! :)
