I was banned on a IRC channel. I've tried many methods like changing
IP address, IRC client, reinstalling windows but nothing helps. They
still recognize me. What type of magic is this? It's been months and I
really need to get in. What else can I do?

Are you authenticating with the server? What if you login with
authentication?

Channel ban evasion is frowned upon and can lead to you being banned
from the server/network.

Changing IRC clients and OS won't help at all since the IRC server
doesn't know or care about which ones you're using.

I only need the server for one single channel. If I get banned from
server I don't care. So, if IRC server doesn't know my client or OS
(although it somehow detects if I'm using a mobile phone/vpn/home
connection or not), how exactly does it recognize me even though I'm
changing my IP address?

What's the banmask that stops you from joining the channel?

Or what's the message you get when you try to join it?
