You weren't necessarily banned for using a VPN. Rather, the proxy IP you were using had been registered with a ban, and so you were detected by SourceSleuth to be an alternate account. To elaborate, if an account that is not banned connects on an IP already registered with a banned account, that account will also be banned.

So, I'd say to just not use VPNs when playing on our servers. It's risky.

Appeal accepted.
