[Solved] Website/cpanel Not Loading ?ip Blocked

[dcs17]

Hi,

I cant access either my website or my CPanel login from home unless I use VPN.It just times out with server not responding. I wonder if my usual IP address has been blocked for some reason? Account dcs17

DOS 41 connections - Sat Jul 30 04:08:03 2016

Can you connect now?

[dcs17]

Yes. Fine now.

Thanks for your very prompt help.

ps no idea what DOS 41 connections means !

 

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change something to prevent recurrence?

Thanks

The way a denial of service attack works is by overloading the server with a large number of connections preventing any legitimate traffic from being able to connect. Sometimes when regular users have a large number of connections, in your case 41, the server suspects you of trying to DoS it and blocks you.

OK. thanks. No idea how ive ended up with 41 connections !

I'll try to investigate.

Thanks for your help.
