I switched VPN nodes in the game and was ban

I switched VPN nodes to ban in the game, which may cause the server to be attacked, so the server gave me to ban then I asked EA on twitter that using VPN will not lead to ban, unless I switch nodes ...

Heya @xzlkjh,

When you start up the game, does it tell you to contact EA due to your account being banned or are you getting something else?

Your connection gets cut off when changing nodes, meaning that you'll disconnect from the server as the server isn't receiving any packets from the client.

It's not recommend to use a different node as your packets have to be re-routed, which results in such an issue.

It's possible that due to you switching your node that it results in you getting a temporary ban, this typically happens due to you sending too many requests to the server after connecting to a new node.

Typically that's indicated by code : snake, which is a ban that usually lasts for only 24 hours.

(I'm not well versed with VPN's, if anyone is able to correct or add onto this, please do)
