Changed my dns to numerous alternatives (including google dns, opendns, cloudflare dns, etc.) *Works for a while and then doesn't 2.) Changed my mac address by cloaking *Works for a while and then doesn't 3.) Tried VPN services (protonvpn, ipvanish, the free vpn's) *Works for a while and then doesn't 4.)

At times the powers-that-be will completely obliterate a connection between my ability to access it. *However using a proxy helps for a while and then doesn't 10.) Keeping keen to the obvious, that all of our connections are at the mercy of the Ip Provider, any attempts to publish the attacks on social sites is completely failed. I have been suspended (for no reasons mind you) from google plus no less than half a dozen times, same with facebook, twitter, yahoo, (add list already contained somewhere in the ohiopostunderground folder). *Chaning IP providers (illusion of the choice of two limited providers are allowed in my area of ohio) works for a while and then doesn't. 11.)
