RunicDeath 18 Posted May 29, 2018 Hey all, Just wanted to make clear for myself and probably others. After the new patch (with BattEye), can we use VPN programs or not? I just haven't played games with BattEye in it with VPN, so I don't know for 100%. Because somewhere in ToU there's a section telling that you can't give your account to other people or something like that. And I don't want to lose my account, 'cause of this... Thanks in advance. *NOTE* VPN programs changing your IP address. "For these who don't know what is VPN" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"For these who don't know what is VPN" There is no such thing as a vpn program, there is such a thing as bloatware that edit's your ethernet settings. All you need to do to vpn is create a new connection in control panel, punch in vpn ip and password. That vpn program is spyware designed for old people.

Yes that's how you create a private network, in your network settings. Durrrdy durrr. I was a tech for time warner, road runner, hp.

They do not make any changes to the game, so there is no reason for BE to do anything. If anything, you should be able to just punch in the actual VPN info instead of using their tools, and then you're even more in the clear. Your provider should have this info somewhere on their site. You can check that here: https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/windows-10/pptp/ Or the full list here: https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/windows-10/ Edited May 29, 2018 by Tobii 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm showing HQ/Blu-Ray P*rn videos when I'm at work (not using the PC), so they can enjoy themselves from time to time. :^) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not every person can work a PC like you, seeing as you've been a tech for Time Warner and all. :^) Stop being paranoid.. The tools provided do not spy on you unless you use some cheap Chinese VPN. Seeing as how NordVPN is one of the top rated ones, I am sure he's in the clear. https://thatoneprivacysite.net/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my question was *ehhmm* from the start is: Can I use VPN when BattEye will come out for APB? Just now, Puffdragon said: I'm not insulting you, I'm pointing out your behavior, it seems insecure and angry. I choose not to pull myself down to your level, because everybody already knows I'm smarter than you. Tech support is 80% googling stuff, I told him to google it. Do you really think IT's carry around all that knowledge in their brains? Naw they just google stuff, like you :^) I'm not even sure what's up with ya? I was just asking if I can use VPN or not. That's it. This is not for raging on each other and showing who got bigger b*lls. And Tobii you too, you helped to understand a bit better this VPN stuff, thanks for that. Stop raging on each other. Even tho you're telling you both ain't raging. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even tho you're telling you both ain't raging. You are right, my advice is to create a vpn connection in your network connections, to use it, just disable or renable it. As for tobii, I don't even know the guy, apparently he streams, never heard of him lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rade 54 Posted May 29, 2018 A good question to post there. My view (based on nothingness) is it shouldn't be a problem unless the VPN causes communication issues with Battle Eye, eg packets timing out / dropping. Battle Eye may kick / ban you for that.

I believe BE bans if 3rd party software reads packets/decrypt or the like. Not sure exactly what caused the ban. This was a huge issue in PUBG since people could read the packets and make a radar that wasn't possible to detect. though I doubt dropping packets would do this, since APB has a tendency to drop quite a few at times.

Not trying to antagonize you but what does esp have to do with lag switiching and speed hacking? You speedhack by lag switching or with older games over clocking your cpu. Lol.

He is talking about the new anticheat banning due to lag, I am saying yes, it would because it might think he is speed hacking. You are talking about packet sniffers...

You are talking about packet sniffers... I didn't quote you, I am not talking about lag switch or speed hack. He mentioned packets, dropping and timing out, so I answered with the fact that BE DOES ban for packet sniffing, manipulation etc, so there is a chance this might also be the case. At no point did he directly mention what you're talking about, so you're either equally as right OR equally as wrong in your statement as I am. So I am not seeing your point? If you want to make things about you just because you like attention, then okay. But it's getting quite dull already. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited May 29, 2018 by Tobii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is this dumb? A packet is like a zip file containing 1's and 0's, lots of them, to decode them and re-assemble them would be highly improbable. Secondly, they could only decode the server packets sent and recieved, not player packets. Now children, I am very busy, I am creating a website from scratch, not some guild portal, clanwars prebuilt garbage, so I can collect even more apb rep, cat girls, trannies, and minions. Excuse me.

Ketog 1031 Posted May 29, 2018 Now im genuinely confused , is puffdragon sarcastic or actually serious . whatever , him working at tech support at HP probably means i could get a free job there incase i need to a VPN routes your internet trough a company's server that are located in another country , so you are able to get an IP adress from that specific country wherever you are in the world. depending on how the company works , they can indeed change / encrypt your data , but it's usually another layer of protection so your data can't be used by adware companies , every VPN works differently . as for "your way" of making a VPN , there you're just changing your local ip , your public ip adress will be the same and , will show everyone where you live and what provider you use , or maybe you're doing something else , i would expect anything from you at that point . and as for IT people , of course they don't learn that , they learn usually much more advanced stuff , i don't say they are all geniuses , there' of course passionates , and people that are IT only because they want a high grade while they have no real intrest on what they're learning , i personally learned how a VPN works around the age of 11 and now im 19 , and what im learning now is way beyond something like "how a vpn works" .
