Error/Banned because of hosting or colocation issues...?

I was using my wife's Kindle and got this message...What does this mean?

Where were you at?

At home...on my own wifi.

That message comes up when the IP address belongs to a datacenter. On rare occasions a business may have a "managed" internet connection (usually including corporate email, firewall, spam filtering, etc.) and their outbound connection will appear as the colocation facility who provides the service and not their own business. At times, members here will get blocked at work due to this. Otherwise, servers shouldn't be trying to connect to this site so I have nearly all of them blocked. If you were at home and your other devices were connected through the same outbound connection then all of them should have shown you as banned. In this case it's solely based on your location and not your user account. You should be able to fix it (once it has a different IP address) by clearing all cookies from this site in the browser.

I will try that...but I did grab the laptop when this happened and was able to sign right on with no issues. Sooo, I am not sure what happened. Thanks.
