If you are getting errors like this when trying to access cPanel or your Webmail (on cPanel accounts), you most likely are using an Internet provider which is providing you with the dynamic IP address or with a very quickly changing IP address.
| NOTE: The restriction (error you see) is a security setting from cPanel, which prevents your account from being hijacked. This is when your Network IP address is changing constantly and cPanel is protecting you from possible session hijacking. Some ISPs (like mobile networks or Wifi providers) have short DHCP lifetimes, this can cause the behaviour described. |
In order to go around this issue, without asking your ISP to give you a static IP or without going through VPN/Proxy, please use the following alternative link for your cPanel, and Webmail:
cPanel access - https://server_name:2083/ - where you need to replace server_name with the name of the server on which your account has been activated
Other things to check which might be causing this error:
1. The date on your computer is set incorrectly or in the future causing the session to expire
2. Having a software/plugin/setting that blocks third-party cookies aggressively (things like anti-virus software)
3. Your browser is not set to accept cookies (browser settings)
4. You have some sort of proxy service/ firewall configured (services like sucuri/ cloudflare services might need to be bypassed.)
5. Your IP is dynamically changing (typically office network set up/ short IP leases to modem/router)
| If you go through all of the above steps and checks and you are still experiencing issues, please check with your ISP provider and see if they can give you IPs that do not expire so quickly or provide you with a temporary static IP or proxy IP/VPN IP that you can use that is not expiring so quickly. |
