Verizon FIOS gateway blocked by TFF

Ladies and Gents,

I'm not sure where to post this, but the OT room seemed to be the most appropriate spot since it's not fishing related.

I have Verizon FIOS internet at home and recently have been unable to access TFF from my home internet. I can access the site quickly from my phone if the wireless is DC'd and work access isn't a problem either. So this is a FIOS internet related issue. I believe that Verizon has recently acquired a high number of IP addresses and probably some of these were previously used by nefarious SPAMMERS and have (rightfully) wound up on some blocked lists. I have tried turning my router off/on and also tried from all our computer/devices and TFF still blocks access.

Any advice? Does TFF periodically refresh their blocked list of IP's?

Thanks in advance for your help. It's not a deal-breaker as I can still get on by switching my phone to cellular data or browsing from work. It's just inconvenient.

Thanks,
Brent

I haven't noticed any problems with my FiOS

So this is simple and somewhat common.

Take the router outside, lay it on the floor. Let it cool off, then pee on it.

Full stream, keep your aim steady...you want to get all of it in the router if possible. Allow it to dry and try it again.

Well, it's my luck that my IP or DNS or whatever winds up on the blocked list... I hope that yours does not - it's a hassle for sure...

While frustrating, it hasn't got me to that point... Yet... LOL

I'm typing right now on fios.
