Apparently, I'm half a sock-puppet...
« on: July 17, 2026, 08:38:53 pm »
I've been spending a lot of time on the Rigol MSO5074 update page, posted a couple things, got some great help, and then I come in one morning and I've been bandded as a "sockpuppet." Needless to say, I am not. The only thing I can imagine is that I had to use our corporate VPN (which routes *everything* through the corp back end), and perhaps that looked like a different IP address, or some such.

Now the weird part is that I'm only blocked if I try to access from Chrome. If I use Edge (barf), I can connect just fine.

Anyone know how to get this fixed?

Thnaks!

If you go to whatismyip.com in chrome and edge does it give the same information?
If it is the same, you can try clearing the cookies for eevblog.com in chrome.

If that doesn't do it maybe its linked to that corporate IP and multiple people are using it, or a spammer used to use it.
