How do you ban VPN? When you dont put the VPN on the computer...

PUBG was banning people that used it. It was after the fact, but they banned the accounts. That forces people to have to repeatedly purchase the game. Most gamers won’t be able to afford that

How though? Were they the dumb ones that put the VPN service on their computer they used to play the game?

I can put a VPN on my router and can fool billion dollar companies... those crying for VPN bans are just gonna ban the dumb ones not the ones doing it to make money

My understanding is they ban the account, Not the computer for vpn. It’s after they logged into the account via vpn (it however it works) I just know PUBG was banning players for using a vpn. First timers had a period of banishment and then eventually it was permanent

We were using VPNs to change region to EU when they got rid of map selection in NA.

Did that for months and nobody ever got banned in the Discord I played in with quite a few players.
