> [@Andre\_Matar](#): > > I do. I also have a healthy dose of skepticism. Indeed, the problem may be the shared IP, rather than having a server run the EvE client and interacting with whatever the server is sending your way. Probably not the IP, at least on its own (An IP is nigh useless on their own for positively identifying anyone, really. DHCP, carrier grade NAT, campus networks, dorms, etc.) Probably some subset of hardware IDs, if I had to guess. Also, since nobody bothered to read the Reddit thread linked in the OP, great news, you can all return your legal GEDs to the Crackerjack box they came from: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/e/2/e2e1633a8c112ed4b56fa3f161795ba22357e133.png) ---

So it got resolved. CCP can ban you for doing something they allow. But you can file a ticket to remove permaban. 😂 ---

It’s obviously not in their interest to do so because a banned customer is not a paying customer, but they _can_. 🤷‍♀️ ---

So just another day at CCP office, “put that ticket on the pile”. :psyccp: Good someone actually responded from CCP describing how it is. ---

Ya I was stuck in J space in my banana boat and called Signal Point for a rescue. They didn’t bring alcohol so I use the GeForce exploit to kill them all with my boat oars. I got one oar left so a long time to get home but the GeForce exploit is awesome! ---

Just a little technical tidbit. Your monitor is also a data stream. HDMI or DVI are encoded streams. So _technically_ if they banned Now or Stadia without specific wording, they’d ban you from using a monitor, unless you used VGA or composite… I know it’s not the intent, but something silly I thought of when reading OP. ---

Then read whole topic not only OP. Since CCP guy, clearly said they don’t ban for streaming. Also, comparing GPU - Monitor signal to this services is nothing more than attempt to trolling. Anyway, great job CCP for monitoring such things and banning in advance. ---

As CCP Peligro explained, we have internal processes monitoring customer behaviour. In this case, the customer has been banned through human error, we recognize that this is a false positive and lift the ban with an apology. These things happen, but we do not take them lightly. ---
