\\✅ GUIDE: How to Bypass an IP Ban on Rust (2025)\\
\Complete Step-by-Step Walkthrough – No BS, Just Results\

If you’ve been hit with an IP ban on Rust, don’t panic. This guide shows you how to come back clean — like you never existed. ��

---

\\�� STEP 1: Change Your IP Address\\
\Option A:\
• Turn off your modem/router for 10–15 minutes
• Turn it back on and check your IP at whatismyipaddress.com

\Option B:\
• Use a VPN (Nord, Proton, Mullvad, etc.)
• Make sure it supports port forwarding and no logs

---

\\�� STEP 2: Spoof Your MAC Address\\
• Open Device Manager → Network Adapters
• Right-click your main adapter → Properties
• Go to the Advanced tab → Select Network Address
• Enter a random 12-digit HEX code (ex: 00A1B2C3D4E5)
• Click OK → Disable and Re-enable the adapter

---

\\�� STEP 3: Reset Network Settings\\
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and enter:
\[ipconfig /release]
\[ipconfig /flushdns]
\[netsh winsock reset]
\[netsh int ip reset]
Then restart your PC.

---

\\�� STEP 4: Clear Game and Steam Traces\\
Delete these folders:
• C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Facepunch Studios\Rust
• C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\*Rust\*

Optional – Clear Steam cache:
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\

Use CCleaner to remove temp, DNS, and prefetch data.

---

\\�� STEP 5: Use a Fresh Steam Account\\
• Don’t reuse banned emails, phone numbers, or usernames
• Create or buy a brand-new Steam account
• Never log back into the banned one

---

\\�� STEP 6: Use VPN at All Times\\
• Always play while connected to VPN
• Rotate servers if you get flagged
• Never play Rust again without it

---

\\�� STEP 7: Avoid Reusing Old Info\\
• Don’t reuse passwords, usernames, or PC names
• Change your Windows user account name
• Think and act like a ghost — all info must be new

---

\\�� STEP 8: Test and Play\\
• Launch Rust on your new account with VPN active
• Join a clean server
• If it works, keep that setup and don’t switch back

---

\\⚙️ Optional: Want to Automate It?\\
I’ve got a one-click script that resets IP, spoofs MAC, and clears logs. DM me if you want it.

---

\\�� TL;DR Summary\\

\IP Ban\: VPN or Router Reset
\MAC Ban\: Spoof MAC Address
\Account Ban\: New Steam Account
\Game Traces\: Delete Local Files
\Detection Avoidance\: Stay Clean + Anonymous

I mean it's nice you try to make a guide for people to use, but most things in this guide is either unnessecary or simply not going to work..

1. Game "traces" doesn't have anything to do with ip bans.
2. CCleaner doesn't work, and neither will Revouninstall with it "combined".
3. Spoofing your mac address isn't needed either, to bypass a ip ban, it's a step needed to bypass a hwid ban, but then you are also missing 15 other steps to take to do that, so i don't see why it should even be in the guide?
4. NordVPN, Proton, Mullvad doesn't work on most "try hard" servers aka Stevious, Rustopia etc. And even most casual play servers like UKN have vpn detection now.
5. PC name and password doesn't matter, it's also unnessecary step..

Most servers nowdays as lort mentioned blocks all VPNs. Some good servers even block resedential VPNs. Thats why the strat is to just use a hotspot.

This is primarily because ResiVPN became a problem for server owners.

There are services that specialize in detecting Residential Proxies/VPN providers but they are very pricey in comparison.

Truly undetected residential pools are hard to maintain as either you need a net which can always be infiltrated or you can host them yourself but then the entire ranges can get flagged if just one IP is compromised.

More or less its easier to detect then to stay undetected, just like with cheats and anti cheats. But for a VPN provider you cannot justify charging as much as a cheat provider. It is simply not worth it.

IF your ip doesnt change after resetting modem all you need to do is use a good residential vpn to look like a different person Mysterium dark vpn or Starvpn etcetera thats pretty much all you need to do on a new account after being server banned previously and if you get banned again the next account would be a DIFFERENT node obviously

We as a community do appreciate the effort of trying to help back, however most of this would be of no use in nearly all cases such as:

1. Game traces are not related with IP flags at all, not in the slightest bit
2. Spoofing your mac address has nothing to do with an IP flag, but rather a HWID ban, so its pointless in that case.
3. NordVPN, Proton, Mullvad dont really work work on most servers.
4. PC name and password don't matter one bit.


and a TLDR, just get a residential IP from a trusted source so it isn't flagged and u will be fine regarding IP flags.
Otherwise the user is most likely HWID banned and needs a top quality spoofer (coughs) to get unbanned as well.

It doesn't change your IP address. It only resets your network settings
