Melphyrion 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) By no means do IPs translate to users. A student dorm for example may expose just 1 public IP that is NAT-ed to hundreds of individuals. -> you ban it, you ban the whole dorm One individual may possess multiple IPs (especially with IPv6, e.g. I have 1024 IPs). Also, IP at school, IP at work, IP on phone's 4G, etc. -> if you base security on the premise that 1 user = 1 ip, people can (and will) exploit Some ISPs assign dynamic IPs, meaning if you restart your router you get another one -> not only the user gets away, but that IP you just banned will be assigned to someone innocent in a minute. tl;dr IPs are just a number, stop using them for identification. Same with prefixes. 90% of exploits may very well come from China, but that doesn't mean 90% of Chinese people are exploiters. Banning China as a whole would be racist (#triggered) Edited December 8, 2016 by Melphyrion 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athena 3 Report post Posted December 9, 2016 well Kronos did ban VPN and Crestfall want to do the same thing so is not that hard is just Elysium for some reason dont want that and yes on Kronos after they ban VPN was free of gold seller at least most of them. I just tried, my VPN (where mine equals mine and not a VPN owned by the populair top-search-ranked services) works just fine on Kronos... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
