@HyperionGT4L This should not be the case as far as i remember internet laws still prevent the use of IP banning inside the united states for these very reasons. Which is why most of all companies these days do HWID bans. Which reads your hard ware in the pc numbers and bans from that.

Problem with IP bans and why they are never used is for the reasons you see here. Someone at that IP may been cheating which causes unfair access to a public given service. Not at all saying they did ip ban but that should never be a tool used.

Hi @E9ine_AC

thanks for your reply.

actually I tried VPN, and it works normally..

but w/o VPN, I cant login into origin.

BTW, I’m not in US.. I think that’s why we got ip banned.

@HyperionGT4L Ahh yes they are allowed to ban out side the US with ip addresses. But there are also countries that EA does not support their game being ran in. N Korea Syria Iran and few others are not suppose to be playing apex legends and have a block on the country. Not sure where you are but this very well may be the case as well.

    @HyperionGT4L Sadly the staff here would just send you a link to send in a ticket for it to be investigated. Which is what id recommend also as they can most certainly just check HWID to see it was not your pc that did it.
