I impersonated a user (who was ip banned) by accident and i can’t log back into my account. I don’t have a VPN or a phone (yet). What do i do?

Hi :slight_smile: This issue is already covered on meta. It’s one of the first results from the search: Search results for 'admin ip banned' - Discourse Meta [image] IP- Banned from my own discourse? Support Login through a different IP (mobile data etc.) Then as an admin, go to the admin area and unblock Your IP address. Log back in.

go to a place that has wifi like a coffee shop or something (anywhere with a different IP) and log in. go to admin-logs-screened_ip_addresses to unblock the IP.

I can’t do that sadly, because i’m using a school chromebook and i can’t take it everywhere

Update: [image] (i’ve asked a admin on another website to unblock the IP)

You could use a library computer that has a different IP if you have a library card for that.

A admin i messaged on another website responded and got me back. Thanks for more details!

Ah good, congratulations about that!
