Private server ban

Hey all, I'd really appreciate anyones help on this...

I was banned from a private server over a year ago. Just the other day I made a brand new steam account and bought the game again. I got on the server and played for a few hours. Suddenly, I got a manual admin ban for ban evasion.
How did they detect me?

My IP address has to be different from what it was a year ago, I don't have a static IP. It was a new steam account, new game....
So it must be hardware related?

What's weird is when I was originally banned over a year ago I had a different pc all together. Since I got my new pc I have tried logging into the server on my new pc and got a banned notice, so maybe this gave them my new hardware ID?

So I guess my question is how do I get around this damned thing? Format my windows 10 by doing a full factory restore, call my ISP and ask them to change my IP completely, then do a clean install of steam, buy dayz again?
Or will they magically know it was me somehow?

Thank you so much guys....

The same happened to me, let me know if you find a work around .

Yeah I figured it out. Keep in mind, this is only for evading bans on private servers. I was banned from DayZUnderground for BULLSHIT a long time ago and the admin have no lives.

The way DayZ private servers ban is by Steam account IDs and IP address.
Basically youll need to do a couple things:

1: Change your IP address. This was hard for me, I called my ISP and they wouldnt do it. Tried doing all the DNS flushing and troubleshooting online, its all crap. The only way I got mine to change was by unplugging modem for a day. My ISP tech support said to unplug it for 8-12 hours, but I waited a day just to be safe.
First I went to IP chicken (dot) com and got my IP address. Then I unplugged my modem for about 24 hours. I plugged my modem back in, went back to IP chicken and confirmed my IP address changed. THIS IS CRUCIAL!!! Once you KNOW YOUR IP has succesfully changed

2: Get a brand new Steam account and Buy DayZ again.


BEWARE! One day I wasnt paying attention, I was on my old Steam account (the one I got banned on) and logged onto DayZ, then joined the server I was banned from.. Played for a bit then BAM. They saw my old Steam account which was banned, saw I was on a new IP...took that IP and banned it.
So the new Steam & DayZ I bought was worthless AGAIN.


Good Luck
