Ban evasion
Some notes on ban evasion. A good chunk of this article is taken from old ‘arty threads and posts on this topic
Resetting your Router
If you wish to reset your router, you should first check if your IP address is static or dynamic. To see this, go to this website and click on your IPv4 address. If the IPv4 address is listed as "Not detected," you can lookup your IPV6 address instead, although note that virtually all imageboards use your IPv4 address (this shouldn't matter though for detecting if your ip is static or dynamic). The website will then tell you if your IP address is "likely static" or "likely dynamic." If your IP address is static, resetting your router will not work, as static IP addresses do not change.
In lieu of resetting your router, you may also spoof your router's WAN MAC address if you router is capable of doing so; this typically forces your ISP to provide a new IP address if it is dynamic.

FAQ
I'm still banned despite switching proxies
Clear your cookies. The 4chan_pass cookie is used to identify ban evaders.
Why doesn't my post go through sometimes?
This depends on a variety of factors.
It could be your User-Agent, your file is secretly hashbanned, or the flood filter is on.
If 3 threads/replies are posted within a short period of time by users with different IPs and 4chan_pass cookies with a very little amount of posts attached to them (aka 'empty' 4chan_pass cookies), then the flood filter activates. It lasts exactly 5 minutes.
On Firefox, you can create a dedicated Firefox profile just for shitposting (about:profiles) with this extension if need be https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher
Ban evasion on altchans
Most altchans allow VPNs and datacenter IPs. Therefore, you can use just about whatever VPN you want (even Tor might work)
