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!

For the sync fix I pulled both pins 8 and 9 out of the U51 socket and then jumpered the socket.

Do you have a photos of the change for us less technical builders? And did this resolve the sync problem?

You shouldn't pull pin 9 because you will have 2 floating gates in the chip then due to disconnected inputs.

I'm confused by this being connected to BR.
