Got hit with an IP ban—how do I fix this? or Why did I get an IP ban and what can I do about it?

Bro, same thing happened to me last week. Turns out my roommate was botting on the same network and got us both banned.

If you share Wi-Fi, ask around. Otherwise, yeah, a VPN might work, but don’t use a free one—they’re usually already blacklisted.

Worst case, tether to your phone’s data for a bit. New IP, no hassle.
