Site host blocking ISP: isolating issue
-
For some reason - Our site host (web site) is blocking our IP a few times a week. It's being reported as a bad log in.
Is there any way to isolate this down and stop it? I know I can use Solarwinds or WireShark, but I just haven't had good luck with reading the data.
I had to have our IP unblocked 4 times in the last 24 hours.

Sounds like a major issue with the provider, not something for you to fix. Why not just require the host to stop blocking you?

I believe the system is doing it automatically... by script. they see so many failed attempts to log into an account and flags it. -

Or just change providers. If they don't know why they are blocking you they don't know what customers they are blocking. Drop them.

I am in the process of dropping them. They were our email provider as well. Office 365 is moved (just need to set up users on Outlook 109 desk visits). I still need to move our web pages. And they hold some DSL accounts also.ETA: They told me it was a repeated failed log in attempt. but can't (won't) tell me more than that.

Likely just fail2ban doing its thing. Do you have people in-house attacking your host?

Any luck getting them to whitelist you?
