I'm a university student. Because my uni has had some annoying security policies (You must install a "self-deleting malware scanner program" before you can connect to the network) that they don't apply to phones, I've just been connecting my loonix laptop to my phone's hotspot whenever I've needed to.
Recently, they relaxed this policy, and today I connected my laptop to the university network directly for the first time. When I tried to post on Jow Forums, I got pic related- on my laptop connected to the uni network. I can, however, post on my phone connected to the network.
I'm curious as to why this is. I would assume the uni network presents the same outward-facing IP address regardless of the specific device that's connected.
(On a side note, I googled my Uni + "child porn internet" and a lecturer was arrested for CP possession not all that long after this ban was issued. rk presents the same outward-facing IP address regardless of the specific device that's connected.

why did you assume that instead of just doing whatismyip or something
Oliver Wood
You think an ENTIRE UNIVERSITY has a single public IP? Also just buy a pass or use a VPN you stupid fucking freshman
Dominic Evans
Check your outward facing IP on your phone vs your computer. Your university either uses a different gateway for wifi or your phone is actually connecting via cellular instead of wifi.
Liam Brooks
Bumping because it's a bummer
Michael Thompson
See >You think an ENTIRE UNIVERSITY has a single public IP? Parts of my IP block gets banned randomly for no reason at all so I'd expect the same thing mostly elsewhere. When in doubt, fourchinks is to blame. Not that I didn't mass-ban if I were them.
Cameron Brooks
The ban isn't going to be ever revoked. Forget about it. Other anons already suggested the only thing you can do.
I remember when I was banned for a month, best month of my life. Not for cp obviously.
Kevin Brown
It obviously doesn't, given the situation described. I just wouldn't have expected them to segregate IP assignment based on device rather than just access point, and wondered why they'd bother.
Yeah, different and tentatively the same after reconnecting after a while.
I wasn't aiming for unbanning- it's not a problem. The circumstances are just interesting, is all.

Jason Morales
A few years ago I got banned almost permanently (if it was permanent I wouldn't be posting right now as I am not a ban evader) for posting a copypasta in multiple boards, you can try that
Alexander Lopez
It's not like network admins don't do those posts on purpose to backlist the University's gateway IP.
Adrian Young
>I would assume the uni network presents the same outward-facing IP address regardless of the specific device that's connected. No, you can have NAT use a range instead of a single IP. For example, if your internal range is 10.1.1.x and your external range is 1.2.3.x, you can have 10.1.1.55 map to 1.2.3.55, etc.
Benjamin White
Seems a bit risky, doesn't it? And they didn't even do it for mobile devices, which form the majority of connections to the network.
Christopher Anderson
4chain mods have the biggest cp collection or just go around saying you're 16 or something >not a ban evader
Lucas Davis
BECAUSE IT'S PERMANENT YOU BLIND BLIND BLIND BLIND BLIND MOTHERFUCKER
Matthew Diaz
forgot one 0xA
Isaiah Carter
It only had any effect when being banned meant you couldn't browse the boards at all.
Joshua Hernandez
ayy Based lecturer.
Aiden Garcia
hmm, is it possible to spoof the ip and post something that will get that ip banned and then do that for the whole ipv4 range?
Chase Rivera
vpn or a proxy but changing a public address... not really.
Julian Martin
>Oi you got your shitposting loicence mate?
Cooper Turner
This also dont forget to delete cookies on the phone if you did use the cellphone network. Otherwise your ban will carry over to the next ip you use.
John Robinson
>going to free wifi spots and posting cp on Jow Forums How stupid can you get?
Technically yes, but in the cache on the site that holds the list of banned IPs has space for about 9000-10,000 entries, so eventually it will run out of room and overflow which will result in some IPs being dropped from the list and becoming unbanned. However, there's no telling when this could happen. Could be 5 years from now.
Luke Clark
Actually it does work. But you have to be smart about the ban and know some inside stuff, like mods having different opinions to jannies.
Jacob Martin
isn't the senders ip within the packet and thus changeable i don't know much of anything about networking
Dominic Moore
is there any way to get a permaban other than posting CP? it seems to me everything goes on 4chink.
Sebastian Reyes
yes, but when using a vpn the packet goes to the VPNserver which forwards it to the destination with it's own ip in the headers.
Caleb Turner
Yes, forgot the name.
Connor Myers
If that CP ban was caused by a guy at your university who later got arrested, then he's clearly not going to be coming back and posting again any time soon so it would be pointless to still have this IP banned. Perhaps you can go on the IRC and explain what happened.
Benjamin Wood
close to infinite, are you still in high school?
Samuel Lewis
Proxies are a permaban offense but sometimes they only ban them for a couple months.
Adrian King
ok but i'm not talking about using vpn
Owen Campbell
That's nothing. My ISP (one of the largest in my country) banned from sp to post.
Impressive. At least this way your country will stay heterosexual.
Chase Allen
This. Please hiro, bring this back.
Adrian Allen
>This. Please hiro, bring this back. Dont this encourages people to shitpost more.
Parker Martin
I can still view Jow Forums via the archive sites. Talking about archives though, what happened to rbt? And what other archives for Jow Forums are out there besides rbt and warosu?
Matthew Garcia
My ISP is range blocked entirely, have to post from my phone
Isaac Sullivan
I got perma for posting lewds of a certain character you shouldn't lewd
