    Something no one has mentioned, is that VPN's and Proxies don't always allow you to keep a static IP. Using a VPN will pretty much guarantee you get a different IP every time you connect so if you're looking to use this account consistently you'll wanna avoid VPN's altogether.
    VPN's are good for using accounts in mass amounts, not for singular accounts.

    If you want this account to become your main account, or to be able to use the account consistently, you also have the option of changing your home IP.
    Proxies work great for keeping your accounts separate, but if you just wanna use it as a main/personal account, changing your IP is easier and it's free.

    I wrote a guide on changing your IP a long time ago but it's still very up-to-date and relevant.

    (you need an account to see links)!

    If you need help with it, feel free to shoot me a message and I can help ya out.

    I like IPVanish, but lots of people seem to be happy with Nord, so go with whichever looks good, I guess.

Usually my vpn is the first program I start up when I boot my pc in the morning. If I didn't know the In's and Out's of cheating on neo, I'd act no differently than I normally browse online. Even a legit user would be iced because of their poor security practices in this scenario.

    I have the same issue with google as well. At least with google I get 2FA which usually works (I've been locked out before though). Is it not sensible to flag common VPN connections, but not freeze/ban them? Seems a bit extreme and delves into the censorship category that is pretty hot in US-Tech industry right now.

    I don’t really play anymore - but I will definitely say Mop knows what he’s doing, if I wanted to do it right I would contact him.

    I mean basically do a search of any how to keep an account secure and it's said use a static proxy a hundred times. Joe posts it on every thread like this, how do I keep my second account secure, etc. People just want to be cheap and go with a free VPN which is only safe until your block of IP's are chain frozen and then you'll come post on here and be like: WHY DID MY ACCOUNT GET FROZEN I DID NOTHING WRONG??

    Wow, that R&M reference. That episode was so confusing and fucked up. I loved it. But it works so well in this situation, what

    If you can afford one that assign private IPs. As I know, many VPN services has a set of different IPs for each location you're connected to. If the VPN only comes with one IP per location, then it's a problem cuz chances there are others using the same VPN, sharing the same IP.
