My IP address is banned by ISP Firewall . What should I do now ?

VPS IP Blocking & IP Replacement Policy

If your new VPS is still within the 3-day refund period and you find that the assigned IP is blocked at the time of setup, we will replace it with a fresh, fully tested, working IP at no additional cost.

Please note that receiving a blocked IP during the initial setup is not considered a valid reason for a refund, as the issue can be resolved through IP replacement.

To request an IP replacement, please open a support ticket: Contact HostDare Support

For Older VPS Services

If your VPS has been active for some time, we kindly request that you wait 2–3 weeks before requesting an IP change. Changing the IP immediately may result in the new IP being blocked as well.

In such cases, we recommend:

  • Checking whether your VPS or proxy software is causing the IP to be flagged.

  • Reviewing or changing the software configuration if necessary.

  • Contacting your ISP and asking whether the IP or related traffic is being blocked by their firewall or security system.

Please understand that many modern ISP security systems can detect and block various types of proxy and related software. Therefore, simply changing the VPS IP may not permanently resolve the issue.

If we replace the IP immediately, there is a significant possibility that the replacement IP will also be blocked, which can unnecessarily consume our available IP resources.

IP Change Fee for Older VPS

For older VPS services, an IP change is subject to a $3 USD fee ( with two weeks waiting period) . Immediate IP change is 10 USD ( based on IP availability) .This fee applies every-time you apply for IP change.

Please also note that these IP blocks are not imposed by HostDare's network. They are typically caused by filtering or firewall policies implemented by the customer's local ISP or network provider. As a result, HostDare cannot be held responsible for such external IP-blocking policies.
