Possible that my IP is blocked?

For the last month or so, I haven’t been able to access the site on my land line internet at home unless I use a VPN (which obviously will change my IP and ISP as perceived by the outside world) or if I switch my Phones WiFi off and use my cell service which is obviously also a different IP and ISP.

That’s kind of how I figured my current IP at home is for some unknown reason blocked by the site.

Figured I’d ask if anyone else has the same issue. It doesn’t really bother me to use LTE or a VPN to browse or post here, but it is mysterious.

It's possible, but not likely. Please shoot me a PM with the IP in question, and I'll be happy to check it.

Another possibility would be a temporary firewall block:
