If it's a firewall issue, then it's not related to the forum ACP. I know in some forum boards there are IP blocking sections. But again that's unrelated to the actual server firewall(s) that may be in place. It's more so just there so Admin can block specific users a bit more effectively, rather than just by their usernames/emails.

Firewalls will be governed and controlled by your Hosting provider - it really is up to them to sort that out, besides you won't have access to the firewall config to do so anyway.. Unless you have a VPS that is.

Maybe through cPanel there is something like an IP blacklist or something..? I'd say looking for those kind of settings in cPanel is your best bet. I know you said you already had, but other than that if it actually is a firewall issue, it'd be in the hands of the hosting provider you're with.

How many users of yours is this happening too? And what error messages do they get?
I knew all this, but I see now that I wrote it in a weird way, haha. The ISP is on the case as said and has to flush newly blocked IP's once or twice a week. We have a few blocked IP's in ACP, but those are from 2010 and aren't a worry as of now (as nobody has claimed to have any of them), we've also got a string of IP's blocked in cPanel which stems from a few servers in Finland that keeps pinging us, but the users with problems aren't within that string. Anyhow, sorted out last nights problem now that the ISP finally responded. It's a shit issue though, I don't like that even their routers block out the website itself.

I don't keep track on how many users, but it's been around 20 since February. They will get an error message saying that the website wasn't found, not being able to ping it at all. I AM FRUSTRATE.
Going to Oslo now to see the Top Gear show :D
