Are Discord IP bans permanent? Can I get unbanned or change my IP?

I’ve been through this—Discord’s system is pretty tight, but not unbeatable.

If you’re IP banned, a VPN *will* work, but you might need a paid one since free VPNs are often flagged. Also, clear your browser cache and cookies just in case.

But if you’re hardware banned too, you’re kinda out of luck unless you change your device.
