    Earlier today i became aware that my IP was banned and I was unable to access the site. I responded informing the company, I haven’t published or sent any links to the forms I have been working on? If the forms contain information that isn’t allowed, I am happy to change them. Wasn’t maliciously phishing for info. I own a gym and wanted to create a safer way to sign members up using online forms. Please let me know what I can do to be unbanned as I really like your site and want to use it to make my membership forms. About two hours ago I was checking the website and noticed I could access it. Once I tried to log on it, it logged me on only to log me off and not allow me to log on. I am trying to get an answer to what is going on and what I can do to prevent this from happening again.

    I have checked your account and it was suspended due to the form 200066189788062 which was asking for credit card details which violated our terms of use.

    Do note that we don't allow collecting sensitive information such as credit card details in the form.

    I have removed the guilty field in your form and lifted the suspension in your account.

    If you wish to receive payments from your form users, kindly add the payment integration in the form.

    Hope this information helps.

    Hello, you said we were unbanned, yet it’s still banned and we removed the card information since we are going to use authorize.net as our credit card processing. Please unban us and make sure the system knows we’ve been unbanned.

    I checked your account and it is currently active.  I unblocked the last IP to access the account but it showed that it wasn't blocked.  If you still cannot access the site, let us know the IP that is blocked and we can have a look to see why:

    Hello, I use my home pc and my work pc to use JotForm but continuously seem to be getting unbanned then banned next time I try and work on the account. If this is going to continue to happen I don’t think I can keep using your platform for my online sites. My work pc Ip is 192.168.44.9 please ensure this up is marked as good and doesn’t get banned.
    Thank you

    I was working on the forms at my home, but still my work computer is not unbanned and every time I am in my work my cell phone app says I’m banned now. Not sure if it’s because of the WiFi signal that the automatic phishing system is picking up. Again my IP address 192.168.44.9 I’m not sure why this keeps happening.

    The IP address that you are seeing in your computer settings must be the IP that your company's router is dishing out. Please ask your IT department what your external IP address is, so we can check the status in our end.
