[BUG] False positive: IP flagged as abusive, cannot use free models, no VPN/proxy #57056

Closed as not planned

Description

Describe the bug

I can't use OpenCode free models. The error message says my IP has abusive traffic, but I'm not using any VPN, proxy or tunnel tool.

Error message:

OpenCode's free models aren't available from your current network because we've detected abusive traffic from this IP address. This isn't related to your account. If you're on a VPN or proxy, turn it off and try again, or subscribe to OpenCode Go at https://opencode.ai/go to keep building.

This should be a false positive. I use normal residential broadband. It’s likely this shared public IP was abused by previous users.

My info

  • OpenCode account email: 【[email protected]】
  • No VPN / No proxy / No custom system proxy. I have double-checked system network settings.

Expected behavior

Allow access to free models for this IP after manual review.

Additional context

I have tried restarting router, clearing browser cache and using incognito mode, the error still appears.

    Thanks for the report, and sorry you've been blocked from the free models while on a normal residential connection. This message comes from the OpenCode free model gateway, not from the app. Its abuse detection has flagged the IP address you're connecting from. This can happen when an address is shared or was used by someone else before. Only the team can review or lift that flag, so it can't be fixed through GitHub.

    We don't handle billing and account support in GitHub issues. Please email [email protected] with:

    • roughly when the block started
    • the exact error message
    • that you're on residential broadband with no VPN or proxy, and would like the flag reviewed as a possible false positive

    If you've already emailed, the team will get to it, especially now that we've seen it here.

    Please keep your email address, IP address and other account details out of this public issue and put them only in the email. I'd recommend editing the issue to remove the email address you included.

    Other people have recently reported the same block, in case they're useful:

    The bot will close this issue in 1 day.

    Thanks for the report, and sorry for the trouble. This block applies to OpenCode's free models from your network's IP address. It isn't an accusation that you or your account did anything wrong, and shared networks (offices, universities, mobile carriers, VPNs) can be flagged because of someone else's traffic. On its own, it doesn't block paid access or your own provider keys.

    We're keeping these network-level protections for the free models, and we can't review individual cases or give an expiry time in GitHub issues. If you think your network was flagged by mistake, please email [email protected] with the error and when it started. Please don't post your IP address or account details here.

    Closing this issue, since individual cases are handled through support.

    Closing this, since the free-model IP block can only be reviewed by the team through email support, not here on GitHub. @pfinal-nc, if you haven't already, please email [email protected] with when the block started and the exact error message. Put your account details only in that email, not in this public issue. I'd also suggest editing the issue to remove the email address you included. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the trouble.
