Getting banned from a Discord server or even the entire platform can be frustrating, especially if you feel the ban was unfair. While it’s generally best to respect bans and learn from any mistakes that led to them, there may be situations where you want to try bypassing a ban. In this article, we’ll cover some methods to get around Discord bans, but use this information responsibly and at your own risk.

Understanding Discord Bans

Before attempting to bypass a ban, it’s important to understand the different types of bans on Discord:

  • Server Bans: These bans restrict your access to a specific server and are issued by server administrators or moderators, usually for violating server rules.
  • Platform Bans: A platform ban, issued by Discord itself, prevents you from accessing any part of Discord. These typically result from violations of Discord’s Terms of Service.

Bans can be temporary or permanent, and in some cases, may be lifted automatically after a set period. If you receive a warning from Discord’s Trust & Safety team, it’s best to take a break from the platform or adjust your behavior to avoid a permanent ban.

Bypassing Discord Bans

There are a couple main methods to get around bans on Discord, each with their own considerations:

1. Using a VPN

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can help you bypass IP-based bans by masking your real IP address. Here’s a basic process:

  1. Delete Discord and any related data from your device
  2. Connect to a VPN server
  3. Create a new Discord account with a different email address
  4. Rejoin the server that issued the ban

Keep in mind that using a VPN to circumvent bans may violate Discord’s Terms of Service and could lead to further consequences if detected.

2. Using Mobile Data

If you have a smartphone with a mobile data plan, you can attempt to bypass a ban without a VPN by forcing Discord to use your cellular network’s IP address:

  1. Uninstall the Discord app from your phone
  2. Disable WiFi and enable mobile data
  3. Reinstall Discord and create a new account
  4. Join the server that banned you
  5. Log out, disable mobile data, and log back in on desktop with the new account

This method isn’t guaranteed to work in all cases and may still be detectable by Discord.

Alternatives to Bypassing Bans

Before resorting to ban evasion, consider these alternatives:

  • Appealing the Ban: If you believe a ban was unjustified, try contacting the server administrators or moderators to discuss the situation and request an appeal.
  • Moving On: Sometimes it’s best to accept a ban and find other communities that align with your interests and values. Continuing to evade bans may only lead to more problems down the road.

Remember, repeatedly bypassing bans ultimately does more harm than good. It’s important to respect community guidelines and learn from any mistakes to avoid future issues.

FAQ

What happens if I get caught bypassing a ban?

If Discord detects that you are evading bans, you risk facing harsher consequences, up to and including a permanent platform ban. It’s important to weigh the risks before attempting to bypass any bans.

Can I use a free VPN to bypass a Discord ban?

While free VPNs may work in some cases, they often have limitations and may not be as reliable or secure as paid VPN services. If you choose to use a VPN, it’s generally recommended to opt for a reputable paid provider.

Will creating a new account alone bypass a ban?

Creating a new account without changing your IP address will likely not be sufficient to bypass an IP-based ban. Discord can still detect and block your access based on your IP, which is why using a VPN or mobile data is often necessary.

Is it okay to bypass a ban if I feel it was unfair?

Even if you disagree with a ban, attempting to bypass it may only worsen the situation. It’s best to try communicating with server staff first and respectfully appeal the decision if you believe it was unjustified. If that fails, it’s usually better to move on rather than risk further consequences by evading the ban.
