Banned?

[Uh_Little_Girl]

Hey guys, something has gone wrong. I just tried to join in and got a message that I had been "banned from the server". Can someone look and see what's going on for me, please?

VPN Kick

Thank you, RedKilla.

I'm terribly UN-savvy when it comes to most things, but especially so when it comes to internet things. Can you tell me what that means and how I might fix it? I'm not using a VPN (as far as I know). I'm just using Elon's Starlink like I've been doing for a couple of years. I've not made any changes to any of that stuff.

Unfortunate. I searched starlink in this forums and it seems like many of the players here faced the same issue with their starlink connection, I believe starlink shares one IP address per dozen of households to fix this you have to contact them to give you a dedicated IP address, or ask the admins for a IP address whitelist
you're almost a RC1 regular I hope they can whitelist your IP so you can get back in the game

Yes, StarLink is starting to earn VPN and Abuse flags by services because their IP ranges are used maliciously.

Uh oh. I live out in the sticks and Starlink is the only server that I have available, at a ping that I can play on. I hope things get corrected. I miss my AARP folks!
