Heya @userwilliams45

It looks like your IP is flagged to be part of a datacenter range by https://ip-api.com/ Are you using some kind of proxy or VPN? If so, disable that when using the faucet. If not, please check ip-api.com to see if your IP is really marked as "hosting": true

I checked hosting is checked as true... Whats the way forward

Heya, I'm unfortunately unable to remove that protection completely as it leads to mass mining from cloud machines when removed.

However, I've implemented a way to bypass the hosting & proxy check by proving the identity via gitcoin passport. There should be a new popup coming up when connecting from a IP that is marked as proxy or hosting range. Please check if that works for you. You'll need a minimum score of 10, which should be easily reachable :)

New version is live on the holesky instance only.
