[jesuschrist]

Hey guys wondering why im being banned on the server. I am playing on my laptop at work when i have downtime and its banning me because i have a blacklisted ip? Is it b3cause im using my jesus name on another ip or what?

[P4LDK]

Are you behind a VPN?

[jesuschrist]

I got a new laptop came with macafee vpn or whatever  deleted it turned it off too still bans me

try check your router and disable all shields and annonymous services same apply on your endpoint - laptop.

[jesuschrist]

I dont  have access to my router im at work is there any way  around this?

[ExEric3]

Actually not.

[UksRene]

That’s poor, he’s a regular and an old sk00l renegade player surely there’s a way around this? 
 

@shaitan any help ?

Check to see if you using isp's dns and not cloudflare dns, some have had issues with that. But if you have no access to server settings on your end not much can be done. Your work servers could be using blacklisted ips through their vpn. But hard to say with out knowing what ip address they are using and checking it against known blacklist. That would be something renegades mods would have to sort out.

[shaitan]

Your IP changes every time. I whitelisted it a few times, but you need to turn off whatever VPN you're using.

[jesuschrist]

Ill see what i can do ill ask a buddy at work if he can help because when it comes to computer's the only reason i touch one is to play renegade or tiberian sun . Most of what you gus are saying i havent the slightest clue about lol. Ty tho

Every day you have different IP and different internet service provider and location so you must have something in your setup.

[jesuschrist]

any idea how i would go about trying to fix that? as i am not very capable on computers im jsut on a hp laptop windows 11

[ExEric3]

send over private message what programs u have installed in control panel - add and remove programs if there would be something suspicious also u can screenshot your network interfaces from device manager or network settings.

Jesus somehow fixed it at least finally he played with IP which isnt blacklisted.

[jesuschrist]

its not fixed i was at home when i was playing again last night. its not fixable as i have no control over my router at work. if anyone notices me getting on and getting banned for vpn and has the power to whitelist me please do so. i dont play at work super often but im on 12 hour shifts alot and it helps the night go faster lol. thx for trying to help

[ExEric3]

Whitelisted but u will get another IP which will kick u out again.

Unfortunately, what I'm about o say isn't going to be helpful for your situation, but I gotta remark that playing Ren while working, meaning getting paid to play Ren, is peak life. Well done sir, you won.

Being creative here. You can use your smartphone with 5g if u have one as a hot-spot and play over cellular data. The ping will be higher though. And check that you have a data plan on your cell phone with a lot of data or it will cost you a lot of money.

I was playing pool representing Edinburgh at county I took my laptop and used 5G hotspot to play renegade it works really well while staying at the caravan. The ping and lag wasn’t too bad at all

How much data u have prepaid mothly on mobile phone?

[Goztow]

Me ? Around 20 GB. But I suppose the question is for jesus? 

[ExEric3]

Well when I would count it 1GB is 2 hours of Field.mix. 8 - 12 hours at work how much days u will play over mobile data? Two weeks? Its also temp sollution but not for permanent playing. Definitelly over guest networks in Jesus case at his work u cant play. For some reason his network admin using IPs which are blacklisted.

I connected to my phones hot spot and it still banned me so that was also a no go. Believe it or not im in the steel industry united steel workers union i have a gig now doing now doing non destructive immersion testing for aircraft steel. Its alot of waiting for a machine to be done its great.
