Anyone know how to fix it ?

"Protector" is no doubt their firewall. There will be nothing you can do about it. Knowing how these things work, it may unblock you after a pre determined time, e.g 24 hours, or the block may be permanent.
But why are you asking here? Why not ask on the BOC forum?
You could get around it by getting a new IP address.
If you are on ADSL you could try disconnecting your ADSL modem from the phone line for for say half an hour and if you have a dynamic IP address when you connect it back up again your ISP will automatically give you a new IP address. If however you have a static IP you're stuffed
Of course this begs the question, why did it block you in the first place and will it just happen again?
