Appeal Approved Ban Appeal: 270Win

[270Win]

In-game Name 270Win

Have you cheated before? No

What's your side of the story as to why you were banned? Went to play today and got autokicked with "Triggered Punkbuster ban detected"

Why should we lift your ban? Error with punkbuster since I don't cheat.

No idea, how is that name connected to this account?

 

[PandaExpress293]

It would appear your IP overlaps with theirs, thus their ban is extended to you. Have you changed your ISP in the last couple of months?

 

[270Win]

I have not but I do use two different ISP, starlink and tmobile. Was on tmobile when trying to connect today. I can try with Starlink.

 

[270Win]

Is there an option to be whitelisted?

 

[PandaExpress293]

T-Mobile will be the issue here then. Mobile carriers like to reuse IPs or operate behind a CGNAT to limit the number of public IPs distributed among their customers. This technology along with the fact that the world had exhausted the remaining IPv4 pool of addresses back in 2019, causes IP overlaps to be more common.

We don't whitelist anyone but I will make changes to the other user's ban so as not to affect you.

 

[270Win]

Thank you for quick reply. Should I no longer use Tmobile or will it not matter now?

 

[PandaExpress293]

It shouldn't matter, I was just giving you the reason this most likely happened.

If you're able, try connecting again with either ISP and tell me if you're able to play.

 

[270Win]

good now

 

[PandaExpress293]

Great.

Appeal approved.
