So last night I booted my PC and opened the Nicotine+ client as usual when things went wild. The client tried to make 30+ instances of itself and my computer almost exploded, forcing me to shut down my PC.

After rebooting I realized I couldn't login on Soulseek anymore. I tried using the QT client, different accounts and checking ports (which were open) but to no avail.

I then downloaded some free-VPN junk and managed to login as usual, making me realize I am probably banned from slsk for DDoS or something (?).

Any way I can appeal to this? Or maybe I am wrong and it actually is some connection problem? Thanks for any insights.

You get unbanned after a few hours automatically.

Thank you for the reply.
I has been almost 48 hours since I had the issue and I'm still getting the socket error, so maybe being banned actually isn't the case?
I tried disabling both my Windows Defender/Firewall and my router firewall and it didn't work.

You might say this is an ISP case, but I think it is improbable, as I used it everyday until I had this multiple instance issue.
Again, thank you for your time.
