Misc Gunpost Issue

So i have had my gunpost account for around 6 months now as i recently discovered it and it just randomly got banned when i logged onto my account from my laptop. i tired to make a new account and boom... instantly banned. Has anyone else had this issue? i was looking for some next potential buys but now i can't.

If you're in a heavily populated area and/or the ISP is operating on a shoestring: this could be down to CGNAT and someone else on the same public IP did something fishy. There's only so many public IP addresses available so sometimes an ISP will set up what's called carrier grade network address translation. From a WAN standpoint you could have the same public IP address as your whole neighbourhood with your ISP routing traffic to individual households.
