Lately I have been looking at various options to maximize security on my sides/main and one major question popped up throughout the search: If all of your accounts are from the same "host provider," is that suspicious?

ex.Hostname: ipxxx.xx-xx-xxx.static.steadfastdns.net.

My current reasoning is that since all of the account have an IP from the same city so it shouldn't be that odd.. Right?

Does host = ISP? (I'm a complete newb to this programming/computer jargon)

Insight pl0x (and thanks). 

*I need to avoid being chain iced at all costs

*I'm using different user agent strings for each side account (that isn't going too overboard is it?)

The second statement: Is it true? Do you think TnT is able to keep track of how many times you get RS banned?

I'm getting RS banned daily although I don't actually buy many 1m+ np items. Thoughts on ice likelihood?

I thought you normally only get frozen/flagged if you buy too many high valued items in a short time span or in a day.

Up for discussion, thanks!

After missing the last 8 MPs in Magic on the ABer with my VPN, I was curious about everyone's buy times here (WITH vpn or a proxy)

With my current VPS, I average around 850-1200 ms buy times with the settings adjusted to max.

Ok, I guess this is really a 2 part question: What kind of insane times are people setting in Magic so that I can't even buy a single MP with my current buy times? I thought those times were actually pretty decent but I guess not.

inb4upgrade...? Anyone have any suggestions to decrease latency, etc.? I'm on OSX and the only few latency fixes I found were for PC :x

Thanks for any input guys!

I just thought of this, and I'm probably not the only one who's gotten this idea, but could you possibly abuse the score sender to purposely get frozen?

In a sense, it's a "self-freeze."

I came across this idea when I accidentally sent a Kass Basher score of 11k (LOL) and I got frozen within hours.

I heard that self-freezing doesn't work anymore since you are not forced to send in a ticket to TNT to request a freeze rather than an immediate freeze.

THE QUESTION: Do you think I could get away with transferring np (because I know the account is going to be frozen soon from AB records) to another shell and get the first frozen quickly by purposely having TNT review an insanely high score?

Any opinions or suggestions are WELCOME!

First of all, I apologize if the answer to my question is blatantly obvious or if the answer has already been answered countless times before and is easily accessible. I'm a noob, so forgive me.

I noticed in the settings for Abrosia, if you were an advance member, you could check off the box that says "purchase items not found in item database."

As well as the option to "purchase unknown items first."

While running AB in the shop of my choice and getting RS banned, I had the settings to continue at IGS. What caught my attention was that the ABer was buying a lot of seemingly "nooby" items, one for example, "Basic Mint Floor Tiles."

I checked with the shop wizard and there were none in circulation so I deduced that it must've been a new item of some sort.

Now the million dollar question here (perhaps 1 np?) is whether or not it is recommended, when considering the profit in the long run, to keep the "purchase items not found in item database" checked.

Since I don't even know what to compare the new items to, I am at a loss to even the amount the item such as the Basic Mint Floor Tiles should be priced.

Thanks in advance for all your helpful input!

...and forgive me for being such a novice.
