How's an IP ban even supposed to work when you get a new IP regularly?
I actually pay extra to my internet provider for a fixed ip so that I may have a privilege of being permabanned
Honestly, I wish I knew - I tried creating new accounts from both home and other Wi-Fi networks, and they all got banned within an hour. Our daughter still lives with us and her account was banned too, same thing happened when she tried creating new accounts. I'm assuming it may be tied to the MAC addresses of my laptop and phone, but not sure.
This is a myth. We're out of addresses and now most DHCP rules are locked.
