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!

Wow, unbelieveable!! After 40+ years of collecting computer bits,cables etc I have NOTHING in the shape of an RJ12 cable with 6 wires end to end. I have RJ11's all over the place. Not only that, I have no sockets I can rob to re-use!!

Grr, trying to minimise ordering stuff!!

@rubber_jonnie I have some plugs for mega leads somewhere, the crimp on type.

I can send you some if youd like?

I need to find them to make myself a new lead.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
