Additional IP Addresses - 2 bots per IP limitation - REQUEST

[ph3l1x]

Seems recently they have modified the server so that it only allows 2 people from a single IP address. Is it possible or could we add a way to connect to an additional IP address? If I had more than 1 IP on a machine could I bind to a specific IP address? Or use a proxy?

can't confirm this

[ph3l1x]

Run 3 - 4 sessions and bot will soon not spin anything or catch anything.
But disconnecting for 10 minutes and loving in again with only 1 or 2
connections and it works again.

[retraut]

Confirm. have the same

[MPJHorner]

Seems like an odd choice when people could be going through same VPN or sharing Wifi thus having the same IP, are you sure it isn't another variable?

[faegan]

Confirm, have same issue. 2 works, 4 fails and keeps doing FollowSpiral

Confirmed as well.
I think it my be implemented when the server load is high. Niantic said it was working on server stability. Seems like something that may automatically turn on. Have to see if it stays for good or not.

Been running 4 bots for 2 hours with no issues.
Definitely seems like server throttling when the loads are high.
It seems that Niantic can't handle the server load when the other side of the earth wakes up and plays the game.

If I have more trouble tonight I will post another Update.

Still 4 bots with no issue.

Seems like clockwork. Had 4 bots running and they all got soft-banned. Shut them all down for the night. Sleep is good.

08102016-1000 PST
Started all 4 bots back up to see if they will have anymore issue. They are working again.

It looks like at around 0200 I need to turn off 2 bots if I want to keep any running with on a single IP.

08102016-1015 PST
Soft-banned again after running all 4 bots for about 15 mins.

08102016-1120 PST
Looks like the soft-ban was removed took about an hours. Running only 2 bots for now.

I think they do throttle same devices within one IP address. That's because this bot doesn't have custom DeviceInfo yet. You know they can't just limit IP alone, because it will affect public Wi-Fi as well.

A little experiment goes right now:

1. where was a 5 bots running and doing FollowSpiral without any pokemon catch or forts spin.
2. after shutting down 3 of them - 2 bots doing well
3. after that one additional bot started - 3 bot runs and doing well for about 30 minutes

UPD
Well, all 5 of bots are running fine just now for about 1.5 hours
I think @xSomeFoolx is right, it is not permament for more than two bots are banned

[Carlito007]

Confirm.
have the same..
proxy service needed..

[Philipp59]

update: now I can confirm this. the throttling (read softban) comes with a delay of 30-90min after starting , not sure whats the exactly trigger for it.

[ph3l1x]

Would this be hard to allow script to bind to a specific IP address?

[refast]

As we can see from this merge pgoapi supports proxy now.

[ph3l1x]

But does that mean that t he pokemango-bot supports it? If so, how would I go about doing it?

[lyriccoder]

Hope the pgoapi will be pushed. If they are using requests package, the addition of proxy needs 1 line addition

[ph3l1x]

It seems that pgoapi supports it. Just not quite sure how to integrate that into pokomongo-bot

[nazox9]

Weird that there are people who are able to run multiple bots, but if I run 2 here IP gets banned after only about 15-20 minutes. Not using any proxy service, etc..

[ph3l1x]

Yes, would be really nice if we could find a way to attach script to a specific IP address as my box has about 10 ips.

[TCB13]

@ph3l1x you can always use linux network namespaces for that.

Something like:

ip netns add pokes1
ip link set eth0 netns pokes1
ip netns exec pokes1 ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x/yy up <== the IP + mask
ip netns exec pokes1 ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1/8 up
ip netns exec pokes1 route add default gw x.x.x.x <== default gateway to be used!
ip netns exec python2 pokecli.py -cf ... <== start the bot.

However the bot could be modified to bind to an IP directly. Maybe this? I'm not a python programmer so...

At the extreme you can create a fast SOCKS proxy for each IP maybe using the handy aivarsk/multi-socks tool. Then use one proxy for each bot with ProxyChains as described here.
