Looking for some Admin help.
Couldn’t log in today from any machine connected to home router.
Using phone now via cellular data so different IP than I’ve ever used.
Every time I try from home it claims I’ve tried to many times and was limiting my attempts to once every 15 minutes.
Additional it kept saying wrong username or password which makes no sense since I use password manager with auto fill.
So I did password reset and it still gave that error message.
I sent email to admin via blind email on forum help page.
Response just said someone had been trying to login to my account with incorrect password at least 5 times and had been restricted to one attempt per 15 minutes.
And that IP for those attempts was 66.248.200.2 which Whois gives as California. Which makes no sense I’m in midwest and my IP isn’t even close to that range.
All my hardware and firmware is fully patched, though router hasn’t had firmware update in ~year.
Logs on router showed some DoS attacks but didn’t see the IP address I got emailed above.
Wondering if this might be some type of DoS tied to Hebrew name I use here?
No problems with any other accounts.
Main machine I use here is 2018 Mac Mini w Firefox, I do almost nothing besides PF on that browser on that machine.
Little bit of lurking on 24hourcampfire but don’t have account there, some googling.
Also tested and had same problem with iPad Mini as with Mac.
I don’t understand why password was failing, especially since was able to log in with new reset password via phone and mobile data.
Admins welcome to respond via my email associated with this account, haven’t seen anything odd on that email account.
