How do I get the firewall sever connection unblocked? I got "Your connection to this server has been blocked in the firewall" when I signed onto a website today. I have no idea what it means and I REALLY need to unblock it. Anyone know how?

Welcome to Eileen's Lounge!

Which firewall are you using? The one built into Windows or a third-party firewall?

This can happen if
- You try to open many connections to the same server at once, or
- You attempted to log in many times but failed.
Could that be the cause?

I'd wait a while (30 minutes or so) and try again.
Best wishes,
Hans

I think that the question Hans crossed out is relevant here. Which firewall are you using and is this message generated from your firewall or the site's firewall ??
