I was blocked even though I made ordinary searches. What can I do?

GMX Search no longer works for you due to a block, although you have not searched for content harmful to minors.

Due to attacks from elsewhere, it may happen that the measure of temporarily blocking GMX Search is resorted to. This is not a measure against you, but serves the general protection of our services in order to be able to offer you the greatest possible security when using them. We are very sorry if you have been blocked. However, if you are still blocked, you can unblock it yourself.

Cause: Blocking of the GMX Search due to an attack from elsewhere

The blocking is not directed against individual customers and can be lifted itself.
