Fix: “Your IP has been banned there was recaptcha” When Accessing Websites

When a person does something wrong on a website that is against the policy, they may block that user through IP (Internet Protocol) address assigned by your ISP to your router to access the sources across the internet. This issue can be occurred due to the number of times entering the wrong login credentials and using a VPN which is not allowed by the site.

Some other possible reasons are included. We have listed the main of them below:-

• Breaching Terms of Services- If you do not respect their Terms of Services and deliberately break them, the website may block you permanently through your IP address, and you might need to be assigned a new one.
• Multiple Accounts Under the Same IP Address- You might be banned due to having multiple accounts under the same IP Address. If you have read their terms of service, you may know that. Websites related to payment services do not allow users to use multiple accounts on the same IP Address for some security reasons.
• Restricted Location to the Website- If the website is region restricted and you used VPN to get access, you might get banned because you have breached the policy of a Website.
• Fraudulent Transactions- If the person is involved in a suspicious activity like fraudulent transactions or something against the rules and regulations of that website. Then they can ban him permanently from their website.
• Using Cheat Codes while playing Games on a Website- Many websites on the internet provide games. A person can easily use cheats codes on a website in the passion for ending the game, and the website can easily detect and ban him due to using illegal programs.
• Compromised Network- If there is a third party on your network that can access your data while sending and receiving. Thus this could ban your IP address and even expose your personal information to hackers.
