I had to get a new router this week I know this changed my IP address and since I have Admin tools set to allow my IP as an administrator Is this why I get these messages

"Auto Blocked and Suspended" Or "We have detected suspicious activity from your IP address. Your access to this site is suspended."

I am seeing it on several websites.

Are you using the exclusive allow IP list (whitelist)? If so, any attempt to access your site's administrator from an IP that's not whitelist will be blocked. Too many blocked requests, your IP gets completely blocked from accessing the site. Solution: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools-joomla/atwafissues.html
