I'm happy to try help you remotely for half an hour if you'd like. It's strange you can't ping the IP. I'm meant to be working, but also don't want to do my actual work because it's Friday 😅

Thank you for your generous offer at present I have found I can access everything through the browser Opera with there VPN switched on. I will next contact namecheap and ask if they have my ip blacklisted.

This is the most important step to figure out how to fix this permanently.

IMO this is very likely the cause.

Might this be similar? It was a Spark/Namecheap issue, where Voyager was also in the mix and resolved it

After another hour on the helpline I got passed to someone who actually looked and found that my ip was blocked he "whitelisted" it and shortly after it rained emails in my thunderbird app. I did ask how to make sure this dint happen again and all he said was if it does contact us.

So at this point this saga is closed for me. I am so grateful for this forum
