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!

The latter one is tricky to spot, as they have a dome-shaped plastic cover on top, so you never know if it's the capacitor "ready to explode" or just the cap looks like this.

I just got one of these!!

The plastic dome is really quite annoying and unnecessary, not sure what they were thinking!
