Ip bans

[-Drew-]

Haven't done bnet for a long while so i'm not sure if things have changed. The other day i was messing around with 0x51 and kept getting an invalid cdkey. after a few trys i was ip banned and figured it would lift after a short period of time. well that short period of time is 2 days and counting. has bnet changed its ipbanning? if so does anyone know the lengths?
also... after not being able to logon, i decided to throw together socks4 real quick into the bot and proxy my way to bnet. but no such luck... all of the pvpgn servers worked fine with proxies but not bnet, aftering sending the initial packets, nothing is returned. I even tried using sockscap but produced the same result.

any info would be great.

thanks..

Battle.net IP-bans are believed to become progressively worse.  Your first IP ban might be for a few hours, then a day, then multiple days.  If you have been IP-banned before, then you're probably invoking the same behavior now.

As for the renegade proxy info - that could mean you're just fucking up.  Check your packet logs against real-client logs.

i guess i'll wait out the ban then.

everything checks out, to what i can see. i know that pvpgn arent credible sources to test on but lik i said everything gets sent correctly to those servers through a proxy. was just curious if bnet blocks ip's with open 1080 ports..

It's possible (though unlikely imo) that you have a perm IP ban.
Battle.net accepts ips with open 1080 ports so something else is going wrong.

You could always try using TestBNCS.

ipbans for invalid key checks are 2 days now
plus if you get ipbanned on 1 server all connections to that server also drop.
ex) Bot 1 , 2, 3 are connected to USEAST, Bot 4 comes along and gets ipbanned weather on a invalid key check or some other reason, bot 1 2 3 all drop also.

some people have said that if you get ipd on one server all ur other connections on other servers also drop. however ive tested this and it doesnt hold true.

Wrong, I get IPbanned daily, my channel mod is still there to hold the channel.. IPbans also don't last that long, Invaild key, maybe 5 minutes, I could see maybe if you were being stupid and running a massive key tester with out proxys & invaild keys... then yea maybe a day, the longest experince i've had from an IPban would be from saying a website in a public channel, I got a week IPban BUT yet stilll didn't drop none of my other connections to battle.net

They implemented that a whlie ago and dropping of all connections is fairly recent.

I've been told that a Blizzard representative said that IPbans last from 30 seconds to 48 hours; I've also been told that this is not true, but meh.

[MysT_DooM]

ummm, ive tested this many times, and invalid key checks are 2days, b4 this new ipban it was 1 hour not 5 mins...

and getting ip'd also drops ur other connections on the same server, just tested that..

some1 else verify also so my statements hold more truth!


edit: mystical you might've beeen mistaken, we're talking about the NEW ip bans that bnet has put into affect, not the old ones

edit#2: due to bnet changing back & forth lately seems like delays are changing sporadicly at different times. some get 10 mins some get  2days. but as of right now and time of post it still holds true.

uh just ipbanned myself on east.. nothing got disconnected.... maybe bnet is holding a grudge against you sorry!

[rabbit]

Maybe particular IP bans drop?

not bad, but that forum discussion was just a battle.net user and not from an offical battle.net repesenitive. =\

It's possible to get IP ban's that last for over a week. I believe they also do perm IP bans.

I've had a week IPban, that would be saying a website in a public channel, but permantly IPban i doubt thats possible...
