When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it. If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers. IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse. If you are responsible for one of the above issues. Having an excessive number of banned accounts in a very short timeframe.Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use".Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).If you want to exclude specific addons from updating, you'll need to click the ellipsis on the far-right of the addon row and select 'Unreconcile'.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: You can use the search box at the top of the window to install new addons, although you'll need to know the name of the addon you're after to get accurate results. When all this is finished, you'll be presented with a list of your installed addons. You can either automate this or check each addon individually. You may be prompted to reinstall some addons that the manager is unsure of. Once done, Instawow will attempt to pair your addons to their relevant sources. When you first launch Instawow, you'll be prompted to enter a profile name for your addons, after which you'll need to browse to your addon folder to link it.

That said, it functions just as well as the other managers on this list once set up. Requiring a couple of steps to install and configure, Instawow is probably the least intuitive of these addon managers to use.
