Not talking about this site. Was on another site that I mainly use on mobile. Was using a VPN, but the mods still knew it was me somehow. I was paying for the VPN too, so it wasn't just some free crappy service.

How do they know I have multiple accounts? And How do I get around this? Thinking back, I did have a couple of posts with the VPN disabled so idk if that did it or what.

Some of you will probably call me a troll or whatever, not gonna explain myself. I'm not even a big troll here.

Womp womp.


Is that really the case? My internet would slow way down, so I though F it and stopped running the VPN. I even cleared my browser history + cookies. What's the process in even seeing if a user is a multi poster?

What about Mac Address?

I feel like there's more to it than that, but I may try again.

A user is a multi-poster if he / she posts multiple times.

Multiple accounts on one VPN? That wont do you any good unless you can the IP for every one.

No. Was posting under regular IP like a normal user. Got Banned, so i switched over to a VPN.

Though the above poster said I gave myself away when i posted with the VPN disabled.

Which VPN do you use?

Ive found that Tunnel Bear does a good job staying connected 24/7 whereas Turbo VPN or Private Internet Access disconnects often.

Private Internet Access.

I still don't know how they found out. Is it really because of the few posts I made with the VPN disabled?

probably, even back in the day every post made had a visible ip to mods/admins on invisionfree. add to that admins have access to every active session and past sessions as well as the information related to those as well.

Interesting.

Well if this is the case, it's most likely why I've been found out. I'd clear history, clear cookies, bring up the VPN, and then open up the site.

The whole point of a VPN is to bypass your own IP and ISP. Clearing history and cookies is rather meaningless. If you're going to be using a VPN you should be using it on private/incognito anyway.

I'm going to try this, what's a good VPN for regular PC?
