About the number of accounts that I can log-in

Open quickestneg opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

Hello. I was wondering, for example if I log-in 100 accounts into one SDA from one computer, does Steam see this as connected from one IP? And if I get an IP Ban, will all of the accounts in the SDA gets banned? Thanks

Why the hell do you have 100 steam accounts?

I don't have 100 steam accounts, I am just curious. And it is actually not the point of my question, so what happens when I log-in as many accounts from one SDA on one device? Can steam track it as one IP then get suspicious or something?

SDA doesn't do any proxying or rate limiting. Steam would be able to see requests from different accounts coming from the same IP.

It doesn't really matter, I think

what do you mean? I thought that Steam would be suspicious if they see one IP log-in to 100 accounts.

Steam won't impose IP bans, since many Chinese users access the platform via VPNs. Typically, a single VPN IP address is shared by thousands of users, making it impractical for Steam to ban someone based solely on their IP.
