Can't access Bimmerpost through internet

and for some select users who got lucky for unknown reasons...

I can connect using Safari about 4-5 times out of 10. Absolutely no rhyme or reason

When’s the last time you had problems? If its still happening can you send me a PM (very helpful if you can send when you experience a block) with your IP address and it’s highly likely I can make a permanent fix

As a general statement to everyone (not directed to you what so ever), what I’ve noticed recently is that people just want to jump on a complain bandwagon for something they experienced weeks or months ago, which is fine. But I want to fix real current problems anyone is having so if you are having an active issue please do feel free to post here or contact me directly via PM with your IP and there’s a high chance I get this fixed up permanently for you

Re-subscribed because it just happened again earlier today , had been ok since the fix until then.

I PMed you a few(?) weeks ago with my IP, whatever you did seemed to fix it until the above message. Although it hasn't happened again, yet.....

… for bots! 😂

On the chance your a real person, feel free to PM your ip address to me and I can take a further look. Of course saying you tried from ‘multiple ISPs in new york’ doesnt exactly sound right, so just one of those will be enough lol

Of course, if that’s actually true (you use multiple ISPs in New York), it speaks to a you problem and not an IP block. If it really is happening like that, the more (accurate) information you can provide the better

That's right, the same problem was from three different Isp's. Home and 2 from work.

It appears to be working now.

Up and down started about an hour ago. What’s up with y’all site. It’s not just me, isitdown showed it wasn’t responding to them either.

Not able to view anything since last week unless connect via mobile data or a US VPN. I’m based in the UK.

For anyone on a Mac, I traced the issue of random access issues to the private relay. With it on, ~50% success rate opening the site. Off, no problems.

If you have trouble connecting, first check if your IP is on a blacklist somewhere (not by bimmerpost):

Find out what IP you have been assigned by your ISP:
https://whatismyipaddress.com/

Now check that IP to see if it has been blacklisted:
https://www.abuseipdb.com/

The problem usually is that the world is running out of IPv4 addresses so ISP's will use a round-robin approach to assigning you an IP. If someone using the same ISP is sending out spam, or trying to hack in somewhere, then the IP YOU are sometimes assigned will be blacklisted.

The reason it sometimes work through your phone or VPN is that this assigns you a new IP.

Keep getting blocked

Blocked when accessing from home. Have to use VPN or use phone via mobile network. Frustrating.

Throughout the day, I get blocked several times here at Bimmerpost.

If I reboot my router and I get a new IP address assigned (usually) I can reconnect. But I gave up messing around with this, and I'll just have to content with the fact that I cannot always access Bimmerpost anymore when I want to... only when Bimmerpost decides not to block my IP address for whatever reason and whatever system they have setup.

So my question is, is there anyway I can assign some IP address to my browser that is permanent and that will not be banned by Bimmerpost in the future? And at the same time, just let things work normally with the rest of the thousands of websites websites I visit... with which I never have any problems with.

It’s not 100% private relay nor use of open dns.
I turned it off and made no difference.

I’ve resorted to deleting the app and using chrome as any url found online that refers back to the forum wants to open the app and it’s blocked. Again.
