I was autobanned earlier when attempting to join for 'possible account fraud'. I have not moved location nor have I let anyone else use my account.
[EDIT]: I think it may be because I forgot my password when logging into LFSWORLD and used up my 3 attempts. Could this be why?
Do I hear some Canadian accent?
Canadian accent? I live in the UK and always have.
Well, apparently you've changed your IP now. You were having an Canadian IP. If you were using some sort of proxy/vpn alright, if you didn't use such service on your own will, you should check your PC for malware infections.
I've lifted the ban.
Thanks Chuck. I don't use a VPN, so it must be malware or something similiar. Have you got any advice on good software I can use to get rid of it?
I think I have been banned, not too sure why so assuming it's a geoban.
Thanks.
Edit: I have moved house since last playing on the server so my IP has changed, but it will be one from the UK still.
EDIT 2: I think I was using my VPN, which was connected to the Netherlands at the time :/
Indeed, it was the VPN. Try again in 5 minutes.

I still had my VPN turned on without realising.
