So, I've lost like 8 accounts and all of them have been under this same IP. Is it worth it to start trying to use vpn? I think I just got a little carried away testing out hbrelog for garrison stuff and farming felblight with this last account, the first hours of using it I caught a perm. If I start a new it will be under fake name/fake email/time cards, but do I need a change of IP or MAC address as well? I'll still be botting on it, but it won't be for automated afk garrison/gold farming.
 
We aren't allowed to discuss VPNs if it causes advertising. Most people believe something different when it comes to them, I believe using a VPN for HB, especially a free one is a bad idea. Thousands of people use those services and you end up on the same IP as other people playing the game. While this doesn't mean Blizzard is going to ban you, it could mean they will look into your activity simply because you're on a known VPN IP.

If you need a new IP address it is extremely easy to force your router into assigning you one. I suppose I will start creating a guide to put up on the forums since it might help so many people.

I can only give my experience and this is a very old debate. The only account i have ever had banned (i was fortunate to miss the recent suspension wave that hit in May as i was overseas for a month prior and a couple of weeks following the May event) was on a computer i only use a VPN on.

Why did i use a VPN at all? ISPs where i live have started forwarding cease and desist letters to customers from Warner Bros, etc. regarding torrenting movies. I got one. So i now only torrent through a VPN on a small spare laptop i have (it runs 24/7). I also had WoW on this computer so i would utilize it to bot with 1 account. My plan was to never disconnect the VPN (as i said it torrents 24/7). Woke up one day and the VPN wasn't connected (must have disconnected overnight) but my toon was still leveling up (my bad for having HBRelog on there). Re-connected the VPN and a few minutes later i was notified of account closure.

It was a fresh account, only had 1 toon on there at ~level 80 (hadn't even purchased WoD and got MoP for $13.50 with their 50% off offer) so no big deal. Could be a huge coincidence, who knows, but i will always steer clear from botting on VPNs now.

Just a note, if you do decide to use a VPN there are services out there with desktop apps that will completely kill your internet if the VPN goes offline. That sucks though man, sorry to hear it.
