Default I believe I just screwed up

Just logged into one of my account with another accounts VPN. Stayed logged in for probably 5 mins of time. What are the odds of linking and banning?

At what frequency do you think it would have to happen to cause linking?

Difficult question to answer solidly - no one is really repeatedly testing HOW an account would get linked with repeat IP screwups. 1 or 2 times has not caused problems for people, including myself when I was new to stealth.

I have probably had few accounts that have slipped up here and there on IP without issues but I can't say a definitive answer can be given.

Personally, I'm not willing or wanting to know, but 1 is not enough.

I usually always verify ip before logging in, but I got sidetracked doing inventory and totals for multiple accounts. I guess everyone is due a slip. I didnt notice it till I realized the products on that particular account.

Yeah, it happens to the best of us, even me! lol. I've done it at least once on every account I've ever had including the ones I have now.

I've done it too and been fine.

I worry more about the cookies, as long as you don't cross user accounts as well, I wouldn't worry either.

you will be fine. Just don't make it habit to cross them. I have done it too. It sucks but hey we are all human.

Best way to make sure not to get them crossed again is taking your time. Go to IPBurger first always. Then to whatever needs to be done.

Take a deep breath, your ok. Just make it a habit to check your VPN frequently. I feel your pain, I've done it too.

You should be ok for this one time. Chances are low they'll just do something to you based on this one time thing.

I have a sticky on the corner of my screen that has an arrow pointing to the VPN icon and a big font that says CHECK VPN.

Thanks, guys. Everything appears to be fine. I normally do the ip chicken routine with a double check to match vpn name with partition name. It just completely slipped up from too many task going on.
