I got banned, I guess for spamming, and the blocking page says wordfence.

I have a rotating IP so not sure what it is using? Maybe user agent too.

I did try on a proxy and different user agent but still blocked however I don't know if it still fingerprints my original block (doubt it) or if it just blocked the new instance simple because it is using a proxy - similar to how cloudflare blanket bans proxies (most likely).
 
wordfence can block based on more than just IP address, such as the pattern of your requests, cookie information, and your browser's data. If you feel that this was done by mistake, you should try contacting the administrator of the website.

Well I was spamming pms so doubt it was a mistake. :D
