You probably are using one of the VPN's that a spammer uses and we already blocked that one.
Use a different VPN on your phone to access UG

Unfortunately yes.
It's not like we are trying to prevent guys from hiding, but we need to block the spam bots. It's a lot of work behind the scenes you guys don't see when someone starts making hundreds of posts a day.

Maybe. I also get jammed sometimes, but my VPN allows numerous IP options. With a little leg work one usually allows me in. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all. On the other hand, sometimes IP addresses I know to be safe don't get past. UG just protecting their site - nothing personal

I use Surfshark, and my IP address(es) are banned, but the app has a bypasser feature that you can add websites to.

I use HMA

I get emails asking "Why was my IP banned?" from guys with 50 different IPs and not saying which one didn't go through. Really?

So, I upgraded to the new iPhone 17 Pro Max, and right away I got the message that my IP has been banned when I tried signing in. Unless I use a VPN, I cannot get in. Any way to resolve this?

Get an Android phone.

I guess the thing I wish was we could login with a legit account and then be allowed past with a VPN. I basically walked away from UG for a couple months because I got tired of the VPN location shuffle. But I get why you have to do it, it is what it is.
