If you're having your IP getting blocked repeatedly, then this may happen due to Mod Security.
What is Mod Security?
ModSecurity is a module that protects your website from various types of attacks. This protects a website from hackers, brute force attacks, cross-site request forgery(CSRF), and many other threats. Although sometimes it can create problems, we don't recommend disabling it. You should instead fix your software's vulnerability.
Disabling Mod Security can help you determine whether Mod Security blocks your IP or not.
However, if your IP is blocked for a different reason, then reach out to us. We will make sure we find the exact reason and resolve your issue, so that you won't be required to disable the module.
