My IP has been listed as spam, what to do?

LaughingFoxGames · 2024-03-22 6:22 am

Hello, I have recently registered to tfgames.site, but whenever I try to post something
I have been denied because my IP has been blacklisted.
I have no idea how this happened.

I rechecked Spamhaus and they showed me this:
bl?ip=2405:8100:8000:5ca1:: has no issues

But my public IP is not the above mentioned.
When I messaged the admin of tfgames.site they pointed me here where I encountered this:
https://www.stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/2405:8100:8000:5ca1::18f:aa4

I repeat this not my public IP. I have no clue how this happened and a little bit of help resolving this issue would be appreciated.

It is Cloudflare. Unprotected and/or left alone servers will be included in botnets over time and are used for spamming and other things (usually starts with scans and poke-arounds, then mail-spam, then http(s)-spam, then hosting/distributing nasty stuff).

Is it your server? Then make sure to clean it up (with that long list of spam I suspect some unprotected proxy service). If you use it only as "hiding my IP": use a different service. And dont think, server and website owners let ANYTHING in, there are people with the policy "servers (like cloudflare) do not visit websites"

With that huge list, including the use of toxic mails, I dont think, its getting removed.

It looks like I need to remove a lot of incorrect submissions and API key ban all those that added Cloudflare IP addresses here

I've removed all of these CF ipv6 addresses from the API and now I'll update the code to fix this happening.... then I'll start banning api keys for listing them

Ive found the bug and it was in the code that checked IPv6 addresses against a subnet

I need to check the impact of changing it before I put the fix into prod
