From looking through the forums, the " 3CX Clients / Softphones blocked - 3CX API Component" error seems to be related to multiple failed logins, but my home e IP was blacklisted at 5am (well 4:59:57) this morning when I was still asleep.

My laptop running the desktop app was in it's bag so the only client that was running was the android client.

Any idea why it would freak out and get me banned?

I checked to see if it had been updated (which might cause some reauthentication?) and it has been on the latest version for some time.

I was able to remote into the office and fix it but I'm concerned about why it happened in the first place since there was literally nobody awake at the time.

Thanks!
 
Did you go back though the Activity Log (Verbose)?
 
There's nothing in the Activity log and it wasn't set to Verbose (as I did not anticipate this issue).

I did prowl around the logs and found some clues that it might've been the 3CX desktop app (I assumed Android since my laptop was closed in it's bag so I thought it wouldn't be trying to reach out).

It looks like the session was closed from the desktop app but it was still requesting servertime/etc.

I'll close this thread and post on the desktop app.

Thanks
