Any easy way to get around this? It's not wireless, if it makes a difference.
proxy server

[QUOTE=moesislack;28798542]Or VPN. [editline]25th March 2011[/editline] Btw don't come here with a proxy.[/QUOTE] Why would that affect anything?
I think that proxies [i]could[/i] get you permabanned, but I might be wrong.
[url]www.proxpn.com[/url] is ur answer. I use this free vpn at college to get around those pesky web filters.
[QUOTE=RubberFruit;28862230]Why would that affect anything?[/QUOTE] It's Bannable or was Bannable. Besides the fact that if another user is using the same proxy and they get banned you can be banned also.

[QUOTE=RubberFruit;28949960]I understand, but why is it bannable?[/QUOTE] You share IP with another user. The other user gets banned. You are now seen as an alt of that user. That user got permabanned. You are now the alt of a permabanned user. Not good. Get the cheapest possible VPS on lowendbox.com and just proxy traffic through that with PuTTY/SSH/whatever. Dedicated IP, I doubt anyone will buy a VPS from them after you've stopped using it and get assigned the same IP.
