Hey folks, I'm having some trouble accessing articles on the National Crime Agency website through Facebook. My IP address seems to be temporarily blocked, and I'm not sure why. Has anyone experienced something like this before or knows what might be causing it?

What specific URL are you trying to access, and what error message do you get? Knowing that might help us figure out what's going on!
If you’re not using a VPN, it might be a case of having a dynamic IP address. Restarting your router could assign you a new IP. Also, if your ISP shares IPs among many users, that could explain the blockage.
It sounds like another user from your ISP might have been flagged for spamming, which can lead to blocks for others in the same IP range. You could try to access the site from a different device, like a PC in a library, to see if that works.
I'm trying to access the link and I keep getting an error message like this: [link image]. This has been happening for about a week.
