Hello! I'm coming to Toms Hardware seeking assistance.
To make a long story short, I was IP banned from a game because my account was compromised and someone decided to cheat their way to the top on my behalf (lamest excuse in the book but honestly that's what happened). I want to access the site on an alternate account, but I'm afraid I'll automatically be banned if I sign in because my public IP address does not change.
I considered using A VPN before I join, but the problem with that is that they automatically ban you for 30 day's as a "security alert" if you use a VPN.
I tried restarting my router (unplugging, waiting 5 minutes, plugging it back in) but we have a business line that only allows you to call the ISP if you want your IP reset. From what I heard after speaking to them on the phone, the only IP they can change is the network IP, not the IP on my computer/specific device.
Is there a way I can change the IP that appears on whatismyip .com? Like I said before, the only way I found I can change it is with VPN but they automatically flag you as a security alert if you use one, so I'm not sure what to do... 🙃
Thanks for your help!
