Non-residential IP error

[kyzzy]

Hello! I am trying to join the server but I can't, as it seems my IP gets detected as a non-residential one. In case it's of any help, my ISP mostly provides services for businesses.
Is there a way to sort this out?

Ensure you don't have any VPN's on, if you truly don't maybe contact Fredy/Bolli to get it sorted. It's just a preventative measure to stop ban evading

If any context is needed. I've played on the server for years. He's a friend of mine from spain, and his provider is Aire, which assigns Non-residential IP's.
- We checked the network and made sure nothing was installed and only his normal ethernet adapter was enabled
- Switched to the x64 chromium version
- The game is a fresh install, first with no addons and later with some perp addons
- We tried flushing the DNS

Planned:
- We can try to pull the router for 5-10min in hope to get a new IP assigned by the ISP.

Just to check has your friend tried using a mobile hot-spot to see if that allows him to connect?

You don't need Wi-Fi, just plug it in with USB and enable USB-Tether. It's usually under Hotspot options or somewhere in the settings. Make sure to disable your actual ethernet card/port on your PC via device manager, you know that it works if you still have a connection.

For iPhones you need to download the iTunes app and connect it to pc and trust device should let you do that

If you’re going to use a mobile hotspot via iPhone, do not download iTunes from the Microsoft store, get it from the official Apple website instead

I wasn't aware of that functionality, thanks!
I'll try that as soon as I get my mobile data refilled for the month.

Got in contact with Fredy about resolving it on Monday.

Quick update: Fredy asked to be messaged last Monday. We presume he was quite busy as he didn't get back to us. We've shot him another message asking if he maybe has some time soon to look at this.

Problem solved!
