Hey just wondering if i need to setup a vpn (i really dont want to) when using my rgh to avoid my 2 xbox ones and other 360 getting cross banned.

Im pretty sure every console has a different IP, like my RGH IP is different to all others. I just saw a few posts about it so wondering.

Im using teapot live stealth does this protect my IP/MAC?

Some servers spoof IP/MAC I think, like you said it's always different. Although, in 7 years I have never been IP banned

Sometimes, depending on if I'm going to join cancerous modders. But my IP changes anyway as I have a vpn option on my router. But I never really use one and I have multiples xboxs over the years and haven't ever got IP banned

Worse case scenario your retail consoles will be banned NOTE (super rare to happen) or the IP will be flagged thus just resulting in fast kv bans. Highly recommend hopping on one period still.

If they do an ip ban, with my modem, I can unplug it for 1 min and it will change my ip

worst thing that can happen is retail consoles on the same ip being banned.
i'm always on an NFO though just to prevent that & being hit off lmao.

from my research, Microsoft does not do IP bans anymore. you are good brother.

anyways, worst case scenario, most popular servers spoof that information.

Ive modded for 6 years, nothing happened, don't worry
