Word of warning dont play with a vpn on

Because it is cheating lol lack of skill forces y’all to hop on vpn and enter war torn areas of the world servers lol where they have serious life issues problems and skill gaming isn’t priority lol just to get 3rd place lol fucking sad when you can’t play so you exploit and then act like it’s not cheating :clown_face:

I don’t get it - So if it’s running it crashes your game so you can’t even play - So how was it on?

It can run in the background just fine just not opened on your screen? Idk the wording confuses me

Ah I play on Xbox which has protections in place

A VPN won’t help with security at all. Only helps for region locked stuff like Netflix

That is not a thing.

On the contrary some people VPN to the US to get easier lobbies.

Higher player count also means more casuals. Usually at a higher % as well.

The issue with that is that vpns can be used for cheating or matchmaking manipulation. Which is why they issue the ban rather then issue a warning. Yes I agree it would make more sense to warn the player however I can see why they don’t

Cant u just make a new activision account?

He’s saying he thinks u used a VPN to try and get bot lobbies because that’s a thing ppl do.

But I just immediately assumed u left it on by accident. Otherwise you wouldn’t make a post like this.

I’ve been shadowbanned ALOT of times already so if they wanted to ban me they would have . This is the specific reason i dont plan to buy or play black ops 6 . Play some games slay some noobs , 7 days of shadowban repeat

why not chargeback and buy it again on a different account?

edit: nvm I didn’t realize I was on a sub of an old ass cod

LMFAO cod has been atrocious since vanguard :sob: but you right you were just saying not crying my bad

You’re dumb if you think VPN is used just for changing which lobbies you get into, let alone that this is a good use. Playing with 200+ ping

Brain dead tiktok take

Bro seriously, use reddit for something other than coping with your life issues.

can’t people have fun anymore? you’re weird

Bro, some people just use a VPN period, especially on P2P games. Like you wouldn’t catch me playing GTA V or Destiny 2 PvP without a VPN.

it was on then crashed his game then he noticed and turned off, got banned anyway, at least that’s what i gather from the low info the post provides

When I accidentally try to launch a game of MW2 with my VPN on cuz I forget to turn it off (I use split tunneling now to avoid that) I would notice almost right away cuz my ping when searching for a game would start out at 200 and it would never find a match. When I’d close the game out and fire it back up without the VPN on it’d be back at pinging around 24 starting out

Protections like what? Someone can still get your IP even on xbox.

Wrong. A VPN is infallible and should not be considered a complete cybersecurity strategy. A VPN masks your location and your i.p. / search / web traffic / data being seen by your ISP or others amongst other things. So if someone is using an i.p. sniffer in a lobby (concerning games) they will NOT be able to data flood a person using VPN and boot you. There are other things but I will keep it simple for you since you don’t understand what a VPN does or how it actually works.
