[Solved] Blocked Ip Address

[bfumeteo]

Hello.

 

Lost access to cpanel and the stevie server as a whole from this IP: 82.147.150.134

Probably blocked by firewall, however I would like to know the reason.

 

Thank you in advance

# FTP 201 connections - Sun Jul 31 16:09:55 2016

What that means is you opened 201 separate FTP connections in a single day. We usually only see that high of numbers when a bot is trying to brute force someone's FTP account. Can you connect now?

[bfumeteo]

Yes, I can. I also disabled the application that was being too bold. Thanks

If you need special permissions to open a lot of FTP connections your IP can be whitelisted. For instance one user has a weather monitoring device that uploads via FTP the current conditions once every 5 minutes which is 288 connections per day. Just let us know what you're using all those FTP connections for.
