No, that is not why.

We deployed a brand new IP, and it was banned 24-48 hours after the DDoS Attack was hit. The other IP that was never attacked, never got banned. We've tracked down the issue and confirmed it is the DDoS Attack coming from Akamai and Imperva's IP's that are banning us from their network somehow.

Sony are currently "looking into it" but they do not seem to care much. I am a customer of Sony, I own PlayStation consoles and I am not able to access their service. They tell me to change my IP instead of solving the actual problem with this exploit.

Peace,

Hey, your website says you're the developer of OctoVPN which is a VPN solution.

*This* might be effectively the reason of blocking, not a DDoS. Gaming and streaming services typically discourage VPN traffic because a) VPNs help to circumvent regional restrictions, b) miscreants use VPNs to hide while breaking into systems, c) other reasons.

Imperva is a Web app firewall solution much more than it is a DDoS protection device after all.

The error it displays on both Sony, and Imperva (and whatever websites who uses their protection). So this problem is not with Sony, but rather Imperva blocking IP's wildly.

The IP's are not blocks, it's a single IP and the block/blacklist lifts after 7 days.

Error that appears on those websites, including imperva themself:
