Proxy Servers

I sometimes NS at work. so does one other person at least that I know of.
we use a proxy server so we would both be presenting the same IP address. Because of this I didn't join the UN, but I am worried that if he gets IP banned.... I will also be affected... is there anything I can do?

Make sure he doesn't do anything that would warrant an IP ban. IP bans are only used in extreme cases remember.

hmm, not sure how I can do that... I guess you are saying it will be my tough luck if he does?? right?

To be honest I'm not sure, I'll need a GM's thoughts on this... is this other guy likely to get IP banned?

Far as I can guess, you shouldn't have to worry- IP bans are only used in extreme cases. At the worst, you could possibly get caught in a temporary forum IP ban, which are also seldom used.
