Did I get that unlucky and get assigned a bad IP?

Its mobile data btw.

And I don’t wanna point fingers and blame Proton, but like… c’mon,

First of all, its a real IP address,

Second, even if it were a VPN, so what, your company literally runs a VPN lol, kinda ironic.

And its also a paid account, and I rarely (almost never) send outgoing emails.

But again, this is just a small annoyance, I generated a new password in Keepass and its seems fixed.

    Seriously surprised no one has said this yet, but overzealous companies sometimes flag mobile ISPs just for being mobile ISPs. I have T-Mobile as my home internet provider and I deal with this fairly often.

    I take it as a sign of less than great security. Users on mobile ISPs tend to change IPs a lot, meaning implementing blocks like this is lazy and unhelpful. At best, they delay a bad actor until they flip a switch. At worst, they impede or completely block legitimate users such as yourself.

      I have the same ISP and the same issue. I believe a lot of the issue is that T-Mobile uses CGNAT on their network. This means that your public IP is shared with a lot of other people and it means your “location” (based on your public IP) can jump around from time to time. I’ve had Netflix get bitchy about this before as my connection seemed to be coming from Maryland instead of Virginia and their records indicate that I’m not a terrible driver.
