yeah, 4chan soft banning IP is real. it’s their way of keeping things under control without outright banning accounts.
if you don’t wanna use a VPN, try using a public wifi spot or a friend’s connection to see if it’s just your home IP. also, check if your ISP is blacklisted by 4chan. some ISPs are known for spammy behavior, so 4chan might’ve blocked the whole range.
if all else fails, just create a new account and see if that helps. sometimes it’s not the IP but the account itself.
