Hello everyone,
For almost a week now, I've been having issues connecting to the Rockstar and Social Club services, this has happened to me before when I had to disconnect and reconnect multiple times due to overall network issues, this caused Rockstar to flag my IP and block it.
Now the issues is that I've been facing similar issues due to a new glitch in GTA Online, where if you disconnect at the right moment during a heist, you'll receive the money and not have to spend another 1.5h doing preps and worrying that you'll get less money due to a different primary target. (But this is besides the point). Also, my account isn't banned for said glitch, I can play fine with a VPN, though, you'll see why that's an issue.
The issue stems from me not being smart and not using a VPN for said glitch, even with 1.5h intervals it blocked the IP. The ISP assigns IP's using the routers MAC address as I live in a apartment, so turning it off and on to get a different IP won't work (already tried), I believe they reassign a new IP every 2 weeks, but it's pretty annoying being completely locked down to limited data VPN's or free VPN's that don't work 50% of the time. I'm here to ask if I should ask my ISP (I live in Europe, Lithuania, doubt anybody knows the ISP, just in case, the ISP is: Splius) to change the IP address and if that would cost me anything.
Oh and I also forgot to mention that I recently got a new router after my old one bricked itself during a reset. New router still had the same IP and MAC, so I'm guessing they assign it according to each flat.
And no, it's not just my PC, I can't access Rockstar or Social Club via any other of my PC's and phones.
I would be very thankful in any knowledge that people can share with me.
