Blocked IP address?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m unable to connect to WordPress.com blogs from my server’s IP. Is there any way to check whether a specific IP address is blocked?

  • Hi there,

    We don’t block specific IPs from accessing WordPress.com. So if you’re being blocked, it’s being done by your ISP, or at the network level if you’re on, for example, a work or university network.

    Can you give a link to a site that’s not loading for you? Do you get a specific error in your browser when trying to load the site, and if so, what is the exact text of the error message?

    Does it make any difference if you use another browser or a different internet connection?
