Morning, I went to remote view my cameras from my phone like I always do and it says my IP is banned. I know I didn't ban my own IP, and it couldn't have been from failed attempts at logging in or anything. I don't see anywhere where there is a ban list or anything like that. What's the story with this?
 
In case of no joy from the above, more reading ==>> mobile app - IP banned

From BI's "Help":

If an address is denied access on this list it is considered permanently banned. There is actually a second temporary “denied” list maintained by the software that is not visible here.​
​
If you choose to auto-ban an address after a specific number of failed login attempts, that address will be added to one of these lists. If you select the option to release the ban after a number of minutes, the banned IP address is added to the internal temporary list instead of the one visible and editable here.​
​
Temporarily banned IP addresses may be identified with red text on the Connections page in​
Status.​

How are you accessing it when away - thru VPN or port forward or stunnel?

Maybe someone was trying to hack in?
