Want does mobile data tethering make it harder to ban an IP address?



Mobile networks are all IPv6. IPv4 traffic is behind CGNAT. As a result, you can't ban individual cheaters, you have to ban the whole network.


I don’t think CGNAT is particularly limited to mobile networks. If you don’t serve traffic on IPv6, more and more of it will be proxied.


You toggle airplane mode and you have a new IP and the old one you are banned on is now used by someone innocent.
