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!

So either my soldering sucks (probably) or this thing is wired up wrong (also probably)..

Someone else's turn now... :twisted:

Might just be the photo but looks like theres some solder bridges on the left hand side
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Only slightly scorched.

Well done
