Why Is My IP Blocked by Prolific?

PEC-SUB-0002 and similar errors may involve VPN, proxy, or network-reputation signals, but account, eligibility, or service factors outside IPOK may also matter. Only Prolific can identify the trigger.

IPOK can show ISP, hosting, proxy, and third-party reputation labels. It cannot guarantee that changing to a residential connection will restore access.

Decoding the PEC-SUB-0002 Error

The error may involve the current network or IP, but the code alone does not establish account status or identify the database or rule Prolific used. Treat IPOK labels as supporting evidence only.

How to Verify Your IP with IPOK

Compare hosting, proxy, blocklist, and regional labels, then use your normal compliant network as a control. A reconnect may not change a dynamic address, and a new address is not guaranteed to carry fewer signals.

FAQ

Does PEC-SUB-0002 prove my account is banned?

No conclusion follows from the code alone. It may involve the current network/IP or another factor; follow Prolific's official message or support guidance.

Why can home Wi-Fi still show an error?

Addresses may be recycled or inconsistently classified, but that is only one possibility. Reconnecting may not change the address, and a new address is not guaranteed to be cleaner.
