# Rust Ban Help

### What Bans are there in Rust? <a href="#what-bans-are-there-in-rust" id="what-bans-are-there-in-rust"></a>

## <mark style="color:red;">Game Ban:</mark> <a href="#game-ban" id="game-ban"></a>

## This is a ban applied by Rust's developers or anti-cheat systems like Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC). It prohibits you from accessing Rust on any server that employs EAC.

## <mark style="color:blue;">HWID Ban:</mark> <a href="#hwid-ban" id="hwid-ban"></a>

## Hardware Identification (HWID) bans are more severe as they tie your ban to your computer's hardware.

## <mark style="color:orange;">Server IP Ban:</mark> <a href="#server-ip-ban" id="server-ip-ban"></a>

## Some servers may ban your IP address if you're caught cheating. This prevents you from accessing that specific server again.

## <mark style="color:purple;">How to bypass each ban?</mark> <a href="#how-to-bypass-each-ban" id="how-to-bypass-each-ban"></a>

<mark style="color:red;">**Game Ban:**</mark>\
If you receive a Game Ban in Rust, your account is permanently restricted from accessing any servers protected by Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC). EAC is highly aggressive, often issuing both Game and HWID bans simultaneously upon a single violation. To bypass a Game Ban, you'll generally need to purchase a new Rust account. Websites like G2G.com offer full-access accounts, while platforms like LZT.Market provide temporary accounts. <a href="#game-bans" id="game-bans"></a>

<mark style="color:red;">**HWID Ban:**</mark>\
A Hardware ID (HWID) ban is even more severe, targeting your computer's hardware and preventing gameplay, even if you create or buy a new Rust account. Due to EAC's aggressive enforcement, HWID bans commonly accompany game bans after the first violation.

## Before bypassing a HWID ban, it's essential to thoroughly remove all traces of Rust and associated files using powerful tools like **Revo Uninstaller**. Follow these steps:

1. **Initiate Uninstall:**
   * Right-click Rust and select **"Uninstall"**.
2. **Initial Analysis and Uninstall:**
   * Skip creating a restore point.
   * Perform the built-in uninstall process.
   * Select **"Advanced"** scanning mode and press **"Scan"**.
3. **Delete Leftover Registry Items:**
   * Review detected registry entries.
   * Click **"Select All"**, then **"Delete"**, and proceed with **"Next"**.
4. **Remove Leftover Files and Folders:**
   * Select all leftover files and folders.
   * Click **"Delete"** and then **"Finish"** to finalize the process.

## After completing these steps, proceed by using an HWID spoofer. You can use our **Temporary Spoofer** for short-term use or our **Perma Spoofer**, which permanently masks your computer's unique hardware identifiers but requires a Windows Reinstall, allowing you to safely play Rust again without detection on new accounts.

<mark style="color:orange;">**IP Ban:**</mark>\
If you're IP banned from a Rust server, your IP address has been blocked from accessing that specific server, typically due to cheating. You can bypass this type of ban by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). However, some servers actively block VPNs, so it's recommended to use a residential VPN for the best results. <a href="#server-ip-ban-1" id="server-ip-ban-1"></a>

## **Note:** When you receive a Game Ban, server administrators can often see your previously game-banned account linked to your new account through your IP. This means that even if you purchase a new account, you might still face manual server bans if admins recognize your banned history some good VPNs to counter this are: [<mark style="color:blue;">Star Residential VPN (Good for Legit Play)</mark>](https://www.starvpn.com/) [<mark style="color:blue;">Mysterium Dark (for rage play)</mark>](https://www.mysteriumdark.com/downloads-dark)
