fsmithredI'm banned from this network - using the old internet account now. I have no idea how to fix this. Here's part of the message I got when loggind into irc with the new connection (T-mobile 5G). * You are banned from this server- Your host is listed on DroneBL. Visit http://dronebl.org/lookup?ip=172.56.217.32 to request removal.10:02
rrqI think you have a znc account on dev1galaxy10:09
rrq(getting out of blacklisting may take time)10:09
rrqyes, you have an account on the znc proxy ... should be fine to use (doesn't have such blacklisting)10:18
fsmithredI never figured out how to use the znc account10:19
rrqyes, it's a proxy; so you need to configure it to login for you, and then configure your end to talk to/via it10:19
Xenguy_fsmithred, Is it possible to get the complaint from dronebl cleared?11:43
fsmithredonly if I understood their instructions11:48
Xenguy_Their complaint seems to be about a 'compromised router/gateway', whatever that means11:50
fsmithredright11:58
fsmithredthe modem/router is new (yesterday)11:58
fsmithredfrom the ISP (T-Mobile)11:59
fsmithredI want to remove my ban from dronebl.org but I don't understand their instructions: " Please use the textarea below to describe why you are unable to remove this incident yourself. Also specify why you are currently unable to use the ip you want to remove."13:10
fsmithredand help is appreciated. I am clueless.13:10
Xenguy_My first question would be:  is there anyone in this channel that has dealt with DroneBL.org before (i.e. the outfit that put your IP on a ban list) ?15:46
Xenguy_Secondly, lets consider their two instructions one at a time:15:47
Xenguy_1. "Describe why you are unable to remove this incident yourself."15:48
Xenguy_I assume this is meant to ask why you can fix the problem they've flagged (i.e. a 'compromised router/gateway')...15:50
Xenguy_Possible response:  "The modem/router is brand new yesterday from a new ISP, and therefore highly unlikely to be compromised.  The modem/router is required by the new ISP."15:52
Xenguy_2. "Also specify why you are currently unable to use the ip you want to remove."15:52
Xenguy_I assume they are asking about how their ban specifically affects your ability to use that (currently banned) IP address...15:54
Xenguy_I suppose the answer is something like:  "The IRC network Libera.net has currently banned my IP based on DroneBL's ban listing.  As a free and open source (FOSS) developer, I need to be able to connect to this IRC network to communicate and work with fellow FOSS developers."15:58
Xenguy_These are just ideas off the cuff.  Perhaps others here have dealt with DroneBL or organizations like them before, and have better ideas than this.15:59
Xenguy_fsmithred, ^^15:59
golinuxShiny new toys are often a gift that just keeps giving . . .16:26
fsmithredI tried with something like I don't know wtf I'm doing, I told them new ISP and irc disconnects.16:28
fsmithrednext screen said something like "We don't swing that way"16:29
fsmithredand I didn't get an email16:29
fsmithredI'm using znc server now16:29
fsmithredbut it would still be nice to get the ip address off their list16:30
fsmithredjoerg, did you see any of the scrollback about my problem? Lots of disconnects and then banned.16:34
fsmithredFrom above: part of the message I got when loggind into irc with the new connection (T-mobile 5G). * You are banned from this server- Your host is listed on DroneBL. Visit http://dronebl.org/lookup?ip=172.56.217.32 to request removal.16:34
joergfsmithred: sorry, I'm a lazy chanop, I got "hide join/part/nick events" in my client. I can set you on "monitored users" so I see all of your joins and parts, from now on. The logbot would have the past joins/parts in the non-publoc raw logs, do you want me to have a look at those?16:38
joerganyway your ban is based on DroneBL public blacklist, and on IRC network server level, none of which I have a saying in or even access to16:39
joergfsmithred: you tried SASL ?16:40
fsmithredjoerg, I'm using a znc server now. And I was using sasl16:44
joergfsmithred: my two suggestions: 1) use SASL auth for logging in ( https://libera.chat/guides/hexchat )  <aborted>16:45
fsmithredI used same setting with new ISP but I got a lot of disconnects. I can't log in with that account now.16:45
joergthe disconnects are ZNC -> Liberachat server?  Or your hexchat -> ZNC ?16:46
fsmithredthe disconnect were with my hexchat on new ISP. Old ISP still works.16:46
fsmithredznc works with new ISP16:46
fsmithredor other way around16:47
fsmithrednew ISP works with znc16:47
fsmithredwith just new ISP I can't log in.16:47
fsmithredwas already using the settings they list16:47
joergsorry, you list me. where is the *new* ISP? From your client (phone?) to your ZNC (server?), or ZNC server -> IRC, or both?16:48
joerglost me*16:48
fsmithredols ISP at the house was hughes.net. New ISP is T-Mobile 5G. They gave us new modem and router.16:49
fsmithredI have always connected directly to libera.chat16:49
fsmithredwith hexchat16:49
fsmithredwith new isp I got a bunch of disconnects and got banned.16:49
fsmithredso I started using ralph's znc server and I can get here.16:50
fsmithredbut the ISP's ip number is still banned.16:50
joergthere's   UserClient --[ISP/network1]--> ZNC-server --[ISP/connection2]--> ircs://irc.libera.chat server16:51
fsmithredI only use one ISP at a time16:51
fsmithreduser - ISP - znc - libera is my workaraound for the ban.16:52
joergso what you got is a ban in scenario "UserClient --[newISP]--> ircs://irc.libera.chat server"  ?16:52
fsmithredyes16:52
fsmithredone other piece of evidence not related to irc.16:53
fsmithredWhen golinux and I tested a jitsi session, I kept dropping out.16:53
joergyou got dynamic IP ?16:54
fsmithredI just got disconnected16:55
joergyou got dynamic IP ?16:55
fsmithredprobably16:55
joergtry SASL and *new* IP-addr16:55
fsmithredyou thinking a modem reboot might fix it?16:55
fsmithredI started with SASL16:56
fsmithredactually that's the only way I tried with new ISP16:56
joergrenew DHCP lease, yes. IFF you use SASL instantly after that16:56
fsmithredwhy instantly?16:56
joergto not again try logging in without SASL and get a ban on new addr as well16:57
fsmithredok, I see that I have a new IP address.16:58
joergworst case use TOR16:58
fsmithredI got a status notice from znc that I got detached16:58
joergpretty much similar problem: TOR IP ranges / egress points are all blacklisted, but you may use TOR when authenticating using SASL16:59
fsmithredI think the problem is with the ISP16:59
fsmithredbut I can't tell that I'm disconnected when surfing web browser17:00
fsmithrednot sure if it reconnects too fast for me to have a problem17:00
joerghexchat is suboptimal to diagnose all this. anyway have a look at the network (Libera) tab in hexchat17:01
fsmithredyeah, I can't look at it and type here at the same time.17:01
fsmithredcurrently it's not set to SASL because that didn't work with znc17:02
joergyou might try webchat17:02
fsmithredoh17:02
fsmithredgood idea17:02
joergusing any arbitrary user name17:02
joergor even try logging in to your IRC account17:02
joerghttps://web.libera.chat/17:03
joerghttps://web.libera.chat/#devuan-offtopic17:04
bb|hcbI would suppose that T-Mobile 5G gives a private IP and changes the nat mapping over time, which is causing the drops and also the ban - someone else had a compromised device and earned a ban on the IP that you are using now.18:07
joergyep, exactly that18:08
joergeven worse: cgNAT18:08
joergyou're "in the same LAN" like a 12 dozen rogue users18:09
joergwhere "LAN" here means T-MO 5G network18:10
bb|hcbCGNAT is the same thing plus log and li (lawful intercept)18:11
masonfsmithred: Did you click their "removal request" link? Reading scrollback again, but I didn't notice your saying you'd done so.20:13
masonfsmithred: https://0x0.st/Xwh0.png  and the link there is https://dronebl.org/remove?incident=910984620:14
masonfsmithred: Or is that what you're talking about with the text box? If so, saying this is a new account and that whomever had the IP last had the compromised set-up should be enough. That said, they had it July 21st, so if you're in a dynamic pool, that might be problematic for you rolling forward if you're assigned a bad address again in future.20:16
fsmithredmason, yes I clicked the removal request, gave them a short description and got a screen that said something like "we don't swing that way"20:18
fsmithredI'm resigned to using znc20:18
masonfsmithred: They have an IRC channel. Might be worth bringing it up there.20:18
fsmithredit's cgNAT. I already have a new ip address. One that I can't trust any more than the banned one.20:21
masonI was lucky enough to get a static address here. Fairly essential since some of my email flows through my home.20:43
