logging in to easynews

[Edward Kamarra]

I have never had a problem with logging in to easynews, but all of a sudden,
whenever I try to log in, it just sits there. I haven't installed anything
new, I also tried disabling Norton Anti Virus and Personal Firewall, and
that didn't help. Oddly enough, if I go through a proxy server like
Proxyone, it lets me log in. I am running XP home, and have administrator
rights, tried resetting internet options to default settings, and nothing
seems to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
E.Kamarra

sounds like you might have triggered our fraud system.. this system
will block an IP# if it detects too many incorrect login attempts
within a given time frame. this is to protect your account from being
hacked.

if you don't think you triggered this, it could be that you are going
through a known open public proxy which was used in an attempt to
brute force passwords.. in which case it was blocked.

these blocks last about 60 minutes.

if you have any other questions, let me know in easynews.support.
