My IP address has changed, put me in a different City.
So, I noticed dropouts and slow speeds for a while, like 2-3 weeks and couldn't figure it out. Until I then saw my IP address has been changed and, on a look up it put me in Bradfield when I'm in London, how do I fix this?272Views0likes14CommentsIP Address Showing Location as California USA
Over the last day, I have encountered a strange problem whereby my MacBook Air, connected to my VM router by WiFi, has started to believe that I am located in California. This is preventing me from accessing geo-locked UK content which I should have access to, such as shows on Netflix. No other devices in the household are experiencing this issue. I have tried restarting the router several times; weirdly, it appears to fix the issue initially, but only temporarily. I'll start watching a show and get a 'not in your location' notice a few minutes later. Any advice as to how I can resolve this and get back to a stable UK-based IP would be appreciated.Solved74Views0likes3CommentsHow can I get my Virgin IP address unblocked or changed?
Recently I have been unable to send emails through my Virgin email account. I have discovered that somehow my IP address is on a policy blocklist (with SpamHaus). I have switched off my router and restarted but my IP address has remained the same. How can I either change my IP address or get it removed from the blocklist?Solved3.1KViews0likes7CommentsIP address changed
So I recently set up a DDNS service to be be able to use https://hetrixtools.com/ and/or https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality free services. The idea of using DDNS for these is I don't have to reconfigure them if my IP address changes. Reading past posts it seems IP addresses rarely change despite being on Virgin's consumer service. However just a few days after setting this up I see my IP address did change just before midnight last night! System Uptime on the Hub 3 is reported as > 20 days so I don't think it rebooted or updated last night. Maybe there was some kind of network upgrade? Anyway this caused Hetrixtools to notify me of down time (false positive) whilst the DDNS service sorted itself out and the IP change propagated. I don't know if my service was actually interrupted at that time, but certainly Hetrixtools couldn't ping my Hub from a number of locations to its original IP address. Hetrixtools is doing its job, but anyone have any idea if this is a 'one off' or if Virgin are now changing dynamic IPs more frequently? Perversely, whilst many folk like gamers want their IP address to change frequently or on-demand, I don't as it causes these false positives 🙂Solved4.3KViews0likes3Comments
