Recently i have a serious problem.. Whenever i login with simba the account gets banned. Tried numerous times and still the same result. Like, literally i get banned for BEING ON SIMBA. Any suggestions?

Mind giving more details about this?
So you're making a FRESH account, and logging into it via Simba for the FIRST TIME (never ever botting before on it) and getting banned?
I've never heard of this happening before.

Do you live in China?

Your IP/Computer/Country is flagged

Jagex have flagged you.
I had a VPS customer who was advertising his Flower clan, 3 weeks into the month, all 4 IP's were flagged and were banned within 5 minutes of logging onto the account, even if they weren't auto-typing

Yes exactly.
I do not live in china, nor am i in some weird ass country that should be flagged. This issue has been occuring for 2 weeks now, so i have been unable to do anything on it.

EDIT: Is there any possible way to bypass it?

Well have you been mass botting or something lately or live with someone that does?

Not that i know of. Besides having 1 or 2 open maybe.

You might (probably must) go into your router settings and release the DHCP lease, then wait for a solid while (10 minutes works for me, but it depends on your population and other factors) to hope that someone's router that is on your ISP in your region has to renew their lease and claims your IP address.

You can also bypass IP blocking by setting up some VPN or proxy with a provider or by hosting a server with EC2 or other provider. Make sure you clear your jagex caches as well (shot in the dark, but not unreasonable that they could set a flag there).

Tried hotspot shield, still banned. Cleared the cache too.

Lol I think most places have hotspot shield banned. Try getting a private vpn, or at least one that isn't so public like hotspot shield.

There's lots of ways to track someone. It doesn't all have to do with IP. Could be cached images holding some sort of userid for example, flash caches, java caches etc. Use CCleaner and other cache remover tools.

Even if it was your IP, depending on what your ISP's policy is, and how Jagex go about banning IP addresses, there isn't any guarantee that you would be safe if you switched your ip as you usually do.

Jagex could have banned a whole class c range for example.

Turn off your modem for the night.
Your IP will reset.

So 4 of your VPS were flagged? That stinks. :(

Use a different pc/format this one.
