Understand and resolve a G-Line

Read the exact network-ban reason, secure affected devices, and use the indicated review or delisting path.

A G-Line is a network-wide restriction. It may cover one address or a wider ISP range.

Read the complete message

The reason determines the next step. It may identify:

  • Excessive connections
  • Flooding or automated abuse
  • A compromised device or drone
  • An open proxy
  • A DNS blocklist
  • A required IDENT response

Visit the URL printed in the message. Undernet's G-Line guide explains common reasons, and glines.undernet.org handles supported review cases.

Before requesting review

  1. Stop automatic reconnects.
  2. Scan all devices sharing the public IP for malware.
  3. Close open proxies and unintended forwarded ports.
  4. Preserve the exact message, time, server, and public IP privately.
  5. Wait for short automatic restrictions to expire.

Some automated flooding restrictions are not manually removed, especially during their initial period. Do not repeatedly email unrelated teams; follow the destination named in the message.
