Undernet User-Committee. Authored by: Abuse Team
G-line reason: Automatically banned for excessive connections.
Duration: 1 day
Reason: Rules vary depending on the ISP. Email abuse@undernet.org for more information.
Note: If you get the Connection limit exceeded message, it means that your IP address is not yet banned from the network, but would be if one more client connected from your IP space.
G-line reason:: You were identified as a drone. Email abuse@undernet.org for removal. (PXXX)
If you get G-lined for this reason, it can mean one of these two things:
- Our services have detected a drone connecting from your IP address and one of your machines is infected with a virus; or
- Our services mistakenly identified you as a drone and you need to contact abuse@undernet.org to get this looked at.
G-line reason: DNSBL Entries.
Domain Name System Blacklists, also known as DNSBL or DNS Blacklists, are spam blocking lists that allow a website administrator to block messages from specific systems that have a history of sending spam.
In Undernet’s case, the blacklists used are not only for spam, but for identifying compromised machines, open proxies and IP addresses previously used for abuse.
DNSBL listed. TORs are forbidden on this network.
Duration: Until IP is removed from the RBL
Reason: Undernet does not accept TOR connections.
