No one has access to their home internet all the time. Some simply prefer using phone hotspot connections. Others don't even have home internet at all and simply use phone WIFI.
Some people also use proxies.

The problem is, Skial does not allow connections via proxies or phone hotspot connections.

My suggestion is to add a whitelist of users who can join and play through these means.

In order to be accepted to the whitelist you must simply have a certain number of hours on skial and request access via the forums.

Yay or nay?

It is not trivial to add proxy whitelistng to sourcebans and very few people use verizon wireless as their main connection so we do not plan to whitelist any steamids. It also doesn't make sense for us to whitelist anyone that asks for it and is basically given a blank check to hack on alts.

it is also not hard to be exempt from proxy IP bans anyway

You can already bypass the block at your own risk.

We cannot whitelist people on these ips because then these people can cheat on alts as much as they like and then hop back on their main accounts.
