Either a misconfiguration on the providers end or you are using something like a VPN to browse the internet (which has been flagged for malicious behaviors)

We can investigate the issue for you but probably best you send us an email on [support@crowdsec.net](mailto:support@crowdsec.net) within the email if you can provide your current IP address (Dont post it here as it classed as PII and you shouldnt post your public ip address)

To get your public IP address you can just use your favorite search engine and type “What is my ip address” or you can use a privacy respecting site like [https://ifconfig.co/](https://ifconfig.co/) and share that within the email.

**again please dont post your ip address here**
