"VPN Detected" message

[abatoir]

Hello, my username is nsm

I have been on Skial servers since I don't know how long, but as of recently a message is popping up, that I am using a VPN or IP range commonly used by hackers and that I could be banned.

I love skial and have been playing on your servers for a very long time, but each time I use my phone to connect to the internet instead of conventional internet, I use the PDANet app through T-Mobile.

My concern is that I might be banned for doing this, even though I have been using my phone carrier's internet with no problems at all, for about three years.
Should I be worried about getting banned ? Thank you.

Your account looks like it meets the criteria to avoid being banned for proxy/VPN. There's a forum post somewhere that says you need to have like a public steam profile and be above Steam Level 3.

If you haven't been kicked or banned yet, just ignore the warning. You should be good to play.

Sounds good, thank you !

The level requirements only prevent you from being kicked, it will not prevent you from being banned if a hacker was banned on that IP, hence the warning.

We recently saw someone complain about being banned on t-mobile, which is why we just listed the IP range as a vpn.
