I NEED HELP - SERVER BAN EVASION

02/16/2025 19:20 durdie#1
I need serious help with this, it's tormenting my brain.

I previously cheated on my main account with lots of hours and had it game banned. I also have a previous cerb ban on an alt account - linked to the main.

Anyways I've been clean since then I've changed my IP and created new accounts. I've never been gamebanned since then, safe to say I'm not HWID banned. Servers like Stevious somehow still find my old gameban and ban me. So I've racked up a fair few ban evasions since then too.

I got a new motherboard, cpu, new router, new ip and made a brand new account with no hours and began playing again after a long break. Within my first 100 hours I've been banned from toria and topia. My question is have I been tracked somehow? or is it purely due to the new account with no hours? I got banned for the reason "Cheating" not suspicious account or anything like that which is why I'm asking.

I also want to know if server admins can see things like my SSD and HDD, Router MAC Address, other MAC Addresses ect.

I want to believe I'm getting banned because 1 ban flag on battlemetrics can lead to more, but I'm seriously unsure. Hoping there's brighter minds than me that can help me solve this issue. Also what steps should I take next to ensure I don't get banned on another account?

The only thing server admins have information about is your ip and steam account, it’s one of those things that’s causing issues for you.

Your “problem” have been asked a lot before, you could easily find a solution to your problem by simply reading through the forum here. :)

I appreciate any replies, but I'm serious I've done this.

I check my IP before and after and it does change. I never log into the accounts again, I swear these servers have some extra information they can gather.

I've spent like 4 hours scrolling through this forum writing every possible identifier it's kinda sad tbh. Even though the IP is changing for me (public ipv4) is there something else that perhaps doesn't change? It's a dynamic IP

Are you playing with friends?

Also, are you using any cheats? Or playing clean?

Okay so.

1. Reformat your pc. (I always recommend this even tho it shouldn't effect server ban's)
2. Use a spoofer. (Only needed if you are HWID banned)
3. You can download rust on your home wifi, but do NOT do anything else than that on your home wifi.
4. Use your phone as a mobile hotspot for your pc, turn on flight mode and wait 10 seconds, after that turn it off again. (Use a website like "myip" to check that your phone ip have changed)
5. Make a new google email and steam account.
6. Buy the game on steam again or buy a key from a site like g2g etc.
7. Make sure you are on your mobile hotspot and open rust.
8. You gotta "fool" the server admins, this means not playing like your have 5000h on a new account with 0 hours, you want to play on facepunch servers and modded servers, maybe ukn or other "gamemode" server, until you have a few hundred of hours.
9. Make sure you don't add any steam account that are server banned or game banned to your friends list, or even the friends you usually play with YET.
10. When your account is somewhat "trustworthy" and just looks like a new regular player you can start to join servers that are for try hards like Stevious, BUT you still gotta act like you have the hours that are viewable on your steam profile, you can tell the server admins if they ask or suspect your account that you come from rust on console, BUT make sure you can "prove" this. (Can easily be photoshopped).


It's almost 100% guaranteed if you have done everything related to your IP and accounts being legit, that it's because your playstyle is just too suspicious for your "real" hours or your account looks like a boosted or stolen/bought account.

If you actually manage to "fool" the admins of a server once, the chances of them suspecting anything from that account again is relatively "low", but again if you get enough reports they will surely look into your account/playstyle again.

so do rust servers have the capacity to check for script via programs or addons or whatever they might be or a certain "anti-cheat" that can detect them?

I'll try all of these steps, thanks.

Only thing I'm confused with is download and play rust on a mobile hotspot? How does that even work.

I guess the obvious would be low hours and playstyle sure, but the fact I'm being banned for cheating rather than something like "suspicious account" and on appeals they just close it without a reply baffles me.

One tinfoil hat question too.

I've had the same spotify account in use across all time, would that be a problem or no?

Why? Only certain servers specify "Suspicious account" etc. They also don't owe you anything, especially if they think you're a cheater, or a previous one.

Obviously not, but you already knew the answer to that.

Log completely out of steam on all accounts then fully close steam
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

Server admins get suspicious with fresh accounts from time to time. You need to play legit for a while first

ayo i also have 2 banned accounts currently playing on same spoofed setup but the banned account is my main account with all my other games soooo does that mean if i log into my main account to play anything else the new account will be linked and me banned again? is there a way around this?
