The ip block of SE work like that, if it check a connection from a far different place you usually connect, it can be seen like an hack try.
You logged from a different place ?

Not necicerrily, if the ISP uess port translation they can run all customers with 10 IP addresses, because the port id is the unique part, which would not trigger an IP block.

It is one way to easily check if you have nat. Log into your router and check in the port forward menu. I got 2 internets in my home, 2 ips, if i log from one computer to the other, and forget being on the same net, i get this mail from SE. And some times, it is extremely annoying xD

It would be kind of tough, because its not information you could get from the ISP, they dont like giving that information out, all you could do is download a program that shows your global IP and restart your router and PC a few times, which should give a differant IP address.

Why download a program? ip-adress.com shows your ip, the global, not local one.
Plug out router for 30 min, log on. If you a new ip then, that means you have a changing ip, and uses NAT.

I actually remember having IP changed upon resetting the router with a previous service, but im talking about like an IP change whether or not you resetted the router.

IP addresses have a lease expiry time then they are reset using DHCP, some ISPs will give a new one every so often to prevent people using an internet facing server on the network beacause they need a static global ip.

I didnt mean for this to get into a highly technical discussion, just a thorey lol.

Half of my total time logged in is propably being AFK so I doubt they would do this just because you were AFK. You better start asking people around what gives.

This doesn't really tie into the OP, but I just recently learned that people who I used to think were bots were actually on fieldcraft leve quests, as they don't give an animation.

Haha I always thought it was odd whenever I saw myself and someone on the same fieldcraft leve at a node and they'd stand still until they put their tool away.

EDIT: That sounds dirtier than I intended.
