Hello,

I have been banned from the skyrock chat and here is the reason:

Access to the chat from this connection has been temporarily suspended for the following reason: Unsecured connection. Please follow the instructions on http://dnsbl.tornevall.org/removal.php?....

Am I currently connecting from a public network hotspot, is that the reason?

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 21.0.1180.89

    Right now I'm connecting to a public network hotspot, is that the reason?

    Very likely. More precisely, the IP address of the hotspot appears on a blacklist of networks that SkyRock relies on.

    Why is it a blacklisted network? Before, I was able to connect without any issues.

      He is blacklisted because someone using this hotspot must have done something wrong on one or more sites (such as SkyRock) that reported this IP address as harmful to a site that lists undesirable IP addresses.

    Yes, but usually there is the reason for our ban: here it says insecure connection. Is it possible that Skyrock refuses to let us connect from a public network?

      Is it possible that Skyrock refuses to allow us to connect from a public network?

      Yes, specifically from the one you are using.
