    Starting up Neo again, need advice on a new main?

    So, I've started playing again, so far I lost my first main, I said bye to it since Tony told me I'm SoL on it.

    Trying to get my second main back, hopefully I have luck.

    Now, since I want to play again, whats the best way to go about my new main? I have a VPN so, thats not so much of an issue, but if I bought an inactive account and try to make it my new main, what are the best ways to do so?

    First thing you should do is change your regular home IP. In case your VPN fails... it's best not to leave footprints of your old self. You can change it usually by unplugging your internet modem and waiting 10 minutes before plugging it back in, double check using an IP site like whatismyip.org

    I don't know how it works in other countries, but in my case, my home IP is set and cannot be change by doing this method. Yeah, I believe your company will help you if you ask them. My friend had some compatibility issues with a game due to his IP and asked for help, everything worked in the end.

    You understand the point of using a VPN, right?

    A VPN/proxy is to keep your main separate from your cheating shells, that's it. In the event that your shells get frozen, your main will likely remain safe. Use a VPN on your main all you want, but if you're cheating on your main a VPN will do nothing to keep it safe.

    The best way to start a new main is funding it through shells that are used with your VPN, while keeping your main separate from them under your home IP. This can be done through various ways, be it score sending, auto buying, etc.

    As long as your account is residential, your IP is probably dynamic - which means that it can change at any time, but the reps at the company most likely won't be able to help you change it.

    You can, however, call them and make sure you do have a dynamic IP - I know that Comcast, AT&T, Altice, and many of the smaller ones here in the US all do. As long as you do, you can unplug it for a night so that someone else will grab your IP while your modem is offline.

    When I change mine, I usually unplug it before I go to bed and it's changed when I get up the next morning.
