BANNED 7 OF 9. All in diferents IP's at the same hour 4:02pm

well public VPNs or VPN providers and their IP ranges arent really a big secret. it can easily be documented by blizzard to filter out bots accounts instantly.

a common misconception here.. A VPN is NOT a magic cloaking device. It could just as easily be a big jumbo sign on your forehead that you are "trying to hide something".

This, ppl needs to stop thinking that a VPN is a Divine Shield

lets explain a little bit beter what VPN is:

Virtual Private Network, A network over internet which u can connect to get access to some services behind normally a firewall. What we use from this network is the gateway/proxy services. This to hide your own IP adres on internet. This hides where you are coming from initially so that it looks like your are coming from the same network as the VPN gateway. nothing more nothing less. this WILL hide your mac adress. Mac adres is used in the ARP table for your local network not the internet.

other connecting parties will see the mac adres of your vpn gateways external interface. Not your computer and not your VM. the only way the other party will see your VMs mac is when you are connecting to the internet directly from the VM without a router/gateway/nat firewall. there are other cases like 1on1 NATs but im assuming its not the case.

this is nonsense

Nojoke is partially right about the "base mac" If u let VMware generate a new mac.. it will have the vmware ID and the ID of your vmware server generated into it.. so only if you are using other software to generate a new mac on your VMs you will generate something unique.. still this will only apply when blizzard checks mac adresses via the gameclient. noone read my first post I guess.. I suggest looking up the link to the vmware article about how they generate "unique" macs

if the VPN gateway uses NAT to provide internet (a conventional setup in mind) 1 external network card with an ip adres and its own mac for all your internal machines.. may they be vms or actual hardware. it will rewrite your packets as if they where coming from that IP and network card..

So long story short and from a network point of view. If you are NOT directly connected to the internet.. changing/spoofing the mac adres on your Virtual Machine is not needed (read this)..

all still boils down to the same thing.. there are some things u cant control in this setup or you just fail to see due to inexperience..
- if you are using a paid vpn service you have no control over who else is using it to connect to the internet. for all you know its being used by 45 others farming dungeons 24/7.
- Blizzard might just have blacklisted ranges from known vpn providers that botters are known to use.
- Blizzard might just see the vmware hardware via the game client..
- vpn provides a false sense of security. You are only hiding the real you but not that you're up to no good.

all these things just make you look suspicious.. why would you use a VPN.. why do you run vmware?

Im making a bunch of assumptions and making educated guesses what your exact setup looks like.. fact of the mather is we dont know what blizzard really checks in the end.

I use NAT, i thing nat give the same IP and MAC to all vm (regardless of the internal mac each vm) the game client see the MAC of the external network, maybe that cause the masive bans, Bridget for other side give your own IP and MAC in my router, its more independent? and secure for hiding my imfo?

( I NEED TO USE THE VPN, BECAUSE THE BLIZZARD CAN CLOSE ACCOUNTS BY MASIVE IPS, I PREFER IF BLIZZARD DETECT "one" VPN CONNECTION AND NOT MY "12" REAL CONNECTIONS EVERY MONTH... BLIZZARD OBVIOUSLY END FLAGED MI REAL IP, and maybe closed every new account very fast. )

Not its divine shield, But you can banned more fast for have 12-20 conections in the same IP every day...and flaged... I see a lot of cases for years,,,,,,,, in the fórum and ownedcore.

If you want to be secure you should invest in a Socks5 proxy service, such as vip72.com .
