DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list 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!

But today something very mundane went very wrong: a common kind of outage known as a Domain Name System (DNS) error.

Okay, don't know what it was then. All other websites were working fine at that time here.

But...it's all working now. <shrugs> I'll take it. :)
