You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

???

Normal PLCC sockets (not funky ones either, just normal PLCC sockets).
In the image you posted here: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... ?f=19&t=15, the socket shapes make it look like they are surface mount sockets, not through hole.

I just looked at the image zoomed in and I can see they are through hole now, it just wasn't clear until I looked closer.
