Let's start off with the understanding that;
I'm an [censored]. K? Great.

Anyways, I've got this program that works through this chain of HTTP Proxies to 'hide' an IP. I also know how to connect to a Proxy manually, blah blah.

But, here's where the '[censored]' part comes in.
Me and a couple of friends entered this chat and just spammed it with random crap. I wanted to get banned, see if it works.

By the way, this program's called 'SocksChain'

Anyway. I got banned. All good and done.
But, with that chain thing 'changing' ever 10 seconds, I couldn't get back in.
So I tried manually connecting to a server.
Still couldn't get back in.

I can't change my IP directly 'cause I'm on a wireless router network.

So... What exactly does an IP ban do? It doesn't just ban the proxy that you're currently on? Yeah. I tried google, but all it told me was that IP Bans... well... ban the IP. x.x

An IP ban will ban the IP that is being broadcasted through your connection; You should check, while running the program, on http://www.whatismyip.com to be sure it's actually broadcasting your proxy vs your real ip (as if you're behind a network it may try to take the IP of your router).

Ack.
It doesn't broadcast my Router IP. Just my normal one. Though, with the chain up, it STILL broadcasts my normal one.
If I change proxy, it'll broadcast that one, but I'm still banned.

Hm. Could it have been a computer-ban? O-o
Do those even exist? x.x

It would be by IP only; unless you're talking about IRC then it could be either your IP, nickname, or "name" in your irc client.

Nope, nope.
It was some java chat.

And, of course, I tried to log into through a different name after connecting to proxy or hiding it behind a chain of them.

java chat usually is just a frontend for an irc server. Our java chat client is a front end for our irc server. Also many irc servers have proxy detection and will ban you if you connect from a proxy.

Ahh. I see.

hey java where is this Ploof place that you say your from. I have actually heard a guy at uni talk about it just last week and he said that it is a code for a real place.
