Is Wi-Fi safe?

Postby xXNathXx » Sat Sep 08, 2012 6:54 pm

I've been connecting to Cantr only with shared (public or college) networks for a couple of weeks now. Today, the GAB has apparently got a notification that I'm trying to create a new account.

My question is... Should I use Cantr in those networks, that can easily get 100 people connecting to them a day? Can this lead to problems like this? In that case, is there a way to enter Cantr with those networks wihout fearing for someone else to create an account/enter Cantr and thhe staff thinking it eas you?

Seems weird... I've been using my girlfriends wifi, and she mine, for since I started playing cantr. (Playing cantr at the same time, at the same wifi, with two different accounts) But never had a problem like this...

Just tell them it's a shared network, and who the network belongs to. Half the players are students, so this is not a problem they haven't encountered before.

I did that. I hope they find the problem.

Thank you both :)
