Apparently my ISP (Sprint) is GA-lined "due to multiple counts of ban evasion." Who can explain the circumstances leading to it? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- i55hungay · 2015-07-03 06:43 Since Sprint has millions of users, there must be an **official announcement** somewhere on Snoonet's site about GA-lining all IPs from the Sprint ISP. I use "Mobile Hotspot" so my laptop has internet access through my phone. That's how Sprint's my ISP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sketchni · 2015-07-03 10:58 You've probably been assigned an IP (or using a certain subnet) that's been banned before. I doubt they've banned the entirety of Sprint customers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- i55hungay · 2015-07-03 14:32 Who here are the mods of Snoonet? Maybe they can explain whether they banned all of Sprint. (Hopefully they'll just explain that it was a subnet, and that I was just unlucky enough to get on that subnet's IP.) And if so, I'd appreciate reading some blog post or any kind of official Snoonet post regarding the ban of Sprint. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sketchni · 2015-07-03 14:53 A quick google search revealed [this](https://snoonet.org/banappeal). It's mobile-specific so worth a read. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Anthaneezy · 2015-07-03 14:54 Try support@snoonet.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ne7split · 2015-07-03 16:01 Hi. I'm a Snoonet ircop. You can connect using SASL - you should read [this guide](https://www.snoonet.org/connect-auth). The link to the freenode site has client-specific guides - e.g. for AndChat. If you have any problems feel free to modmail /r/snoonet. The reason mobile providers are GA-lined is because ban evasion by changing your IP address is very easy using their services and they are uncooperative when it comes to dealing with users who misuse it. [Here](https://snoonet.org/banappeal) is an announcement about the GA- line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mikey-506 · 2015-07-04 10:41 An thus you are putting pressure on them which is certainly understandable. With such limited ip4 ip addresses they should really be less accommodating when it comes to switching them especially if these ip addresses are used in malicious ways.
