Ive been out of the botting scene for about 6 years. A LOT has changed! I have an odd circumstance with regard to my internet at my house - I have two different connections (my ISP recently installed fiber, but left my old connection online). I also just happen to have two gaming PCs that can handle quite a bit of load. I play with my main on the fiber connection, and I'm going to do everything bot-related on the old connection, just to completely delete the risk of cross-contamination somehow.
Ive created my mule on my old connection, and started manually leveling and playing like a legit normal account by hand. My "old" connection has a static IP, and If flagged by jagex, I doubt I could get my ISP to cooperate with me on getting the IP changed since they focus on fiber now. Here's my main question - Should I create my bot accounts on my "old" IP and then proxy to bot, or should I never login on that IP with an account thats going to bot in the future?
Also, since the PC I am going to use to bot with can handle quite a bit of load, this would mean I wouldn't need a VPS until it gets overloaded? The only reason I can think i would need a VPS from the start would be if it turns out that I should create my bots on a completely different IP... Would I need a VPS do that, or could this be done on my system?
Many thanks for any help =]
