How to get separate IP address on each computer

[tmill]

I just got 6 accounts banned all at once on one computer. I want to spread out my bots onto more computers so they aren't all detected together.

If anyone knows how to get a separate unique IP for each computer to spread out the wow accounts please share!

I want to run 5-10 accounts per computer and spread that out to 3 computers.

you can try a proxy or a VPN service. <- you can try setup it your self or buy one online.
other optie take 3 different ISP (Internet service provider).

What type of ban you got ?

All accounts were banned for Abuse of Economy. 5 of the accounts were brand new accounts that didn't even sell gold or sell anything in AH yet. Only sold gold from 1 account on that computer and they all get banned, so this tells me they are IP banning me, so I want to spread my accounts out over more computers to separate them and not get too many banned at once. Not sure if that is possible as I have never had a problem with IP bans before. If someone has experience in this topic, please help out!

They ban by pc, not really ip. You better use separate pc for gold trading, might be safer.

This is why I want to spread the accounts onto more computers. but I would need a way to give each computer unique IP and whatever else is needed

An other ip is useless in my eyes ... They get you by Macaddress
and Hwid if they want ... And an proxy can also lead to an account suspension/lock if the provider is flagged.

I think their ban procedure is heavily related to the Ban reason. If you are being investigated for Gold trading / Selling, using different pcs under the same Ip won't help you.

At least it didn't help me in the past. And I used 3 different Pc's. You won't dodge a manual investigation by a GM just with that.

Using an IP changing service is also a HUGE pain in the ass. Stupidly overused Ips that will get you flagged and banned within hours, lying vpn sellers that promise you a dedicated and completely new IP....and it turns to be an already known and flagged as Spammer Ip in most filters.

Also, you need to use a "self disconnect" service that will auto turn everything off when their servers are down, even for one second.

It is well known a drastic change in IP range location is one of the fastest ways to get Blizz's attention. And , I've tried several Autodisconnect programs. Even the slightest delay in them, or a failure by them, or you not remembering to turn them on, will flag your Pc for investigation.

Bottomline is,the point where you realize you need to change IPs is a real pain in the ass.
Is the Rubicon of botting; if you get through it, you could expand without limits. But it is superbly complex, has lots of complications and most people stop at this point when facing the related issues.

I feel hopeless after reading this lol.

Well I plan to do some testing to see what can make my bots last the longest. Going to just reset my IP address for starters and start botting a few accounts again and see how quickly those get banned. Once I find a sweet spot, I will scale up again.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. There's a good advice I was once given. It always works.

There's a few threads around with things you could do for better protecting your accounts, or at least to make it harder for blizz to find and ID you. Don't be lazy and follow as much steps as you can; you could think those steps are useless and probably they are, but even then, they could be useful for ulterior appeals (I was hacked ....)

I assume you are doing this to avoid a link between accounts on one computer and the other?

If you want to change your IP the best way is to ignore V PN providers and set them up yourself. This way avoids the IPs which continue to be recycled for those who want to hide themselves mildly online for a few minutes. You can purchase a VPS which you can install the software in a few steps following a guide. The IPs from a VPS are far less likely to be 'flagged' than a V PN service.

Another downside to V PN services is that it's obvious that you are connecting through one, especially if they are popular. That then may raise questions why you are using the service, which is again minimised by using a VPS.

If you don't want a link to any of the accounts on different computers you need to:

1) Change the IP so it's not linked to the others
2) Use different battle.nets
3) Don't use the same payment method (e.g same PayPal account)
4) Don't make it obvious by trading large sums of gold regularly, at the same sort of time etc
5) Use different details
6) Don't do anything else that would link the accounts, no matter how small

Theres so many things they can use to link accounts, so it will be challenging. Sadly, it's not as simple as just changing the IP.

get "private internet access" vpn it lets you setup 5 connection then select a different server on each computer

Discussing individual vpn options is not allowed in this forum. But let's say one could have asked directly to that provider, and they could have answered they use only shared Ips, If that was the case it would be a terrible option.

we can you VMWare to change ip?

Yeah when they banned my botting account they banned my main account as well. Never botted on my main account but was using the same computer. So they just banned it because of the IP address. I've been trying to appeal it for the past couple months, their legal team hasn't responded in over 3 weeks now. Pretty BS that they hit an IP instead of the account that was doing the crime.
