Locked accounts

Not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but the last couple days my accounts keep getting locked. They aren't banned, just locked. I have to go reset my password and then I can log back in fine, but it's really frustrating to have to reset 5+ passwords all the time. I haven't had this problem before, it's a very recent issue. I always bot on my VPN, so my assumption is they're locking the accounts cause the IP changes too drastically, but it hasn't happened in the past so idk why they'd start now. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone else had similar issues and if so, do you know how to make jamflex leave me alone? :p

Change VPNs, I found out that RS account hijackers use some VPNs and nearly all of their IPs get your accounts locked.

Well that's annoying, I already bought a years worth of PIA(private internet access). I did however switch servers I'm using so maybe that will help. I stay on it for days at a time, so my IP hasn't changed since I switched, but we will see. Thank you.

try not to use VPNs because other phishers, gold farmers, etc will use them as well, it causes your account to be flagged.

I do some gold farming, which is why I use it :p I play legit too sometimes and I'd rather not have any way of connecting my bots to my real accts. Even if they don't ban based on IP I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Well anyways they dont ban buyers so your main can be like buyer. I dont play with my main but when i transfer cash i connect him with different ip, mostly just using other pc. All goldfarming on same ip no ip relative ban waves yet so can say pretty safe, experience in gold farming around 6 months.

Anyways additional safety is always a good thing. But in your place i might do bot on same ip and play with main on proxy?
