They basically mark down the IPS of the VPN servers and ban all traffic from those IP's.I would use Strong or Express because they use PTTP

Most likely you are using a popular services and there don't really change ip often so a blacklist of vpn is available anywhere or the fact the server could have plugins which detected multiple accounts on the same IP. Personally why do you need VPN to join a server? It will add more latency to your game.

I basically just mess around and troll, once I get banned from that account, I reconnect with another account. (This is a game I'm talking about)

Strong and express are vpn companies?

Yes I am, so I guess I should switch to a smaller vpn service.

If you are getting banned it seems like you are probably ruining the experience for others. Why would you do this?

VPN IPs show ISP data of companies. 

A normal IP - let's take my home internet ISP for example - shows 'Telstra' when scanned. 

My personal VPN - hosted on Vultr - shows 'Choopa' when scanned. 

Choopa are a dedicated server company. 

 

CyberGhost's VPN points show an ISP of a dedicated server company, same as Windscribe. 

 

 

idk

And THIS is why VPNs get banned from a lot of game services...

IP addresses are less random then people think. Block are assigned to company's such as ISPs and VPN providers. That data is actually public knowledge for the most part. So they know what IP addresses are assigned to your VPN. This is how services like Netflix know if your trying to connect via VPN and block you. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
