shared line detection

Hi, how easy is it to be detected? The odd occoasion i can be away watching on my phone, but my family back home connects to another device (even though i tell them to checkwith myself first)

a lot of servers will auto ban a line being used more than once.

others will not, depends how its set up.

does the server get notified. if a server has hundreds of customers how is it detected

you may find that the server will just block one of the IP's trying to access the server.

ok, so it's automated. Just wondering, but also don't want to fall foul of it, by accident

It does it automatically when it sees 2 connections.

You would then need to contact your provider to remove the ban.

That's if it's set to auto ban of course.

when you connect your IP address is logged as well as the number of attempted connections to a your account, if the server sees separate IP's trying to connect then it will block depend in the setup, it could disable the whole account or just block one of the IP addresses from connecting to the server.
