Reducing Restriction Risk on Binance & Bybit
Exchanges rarely tell you exactly why an account gets flagged. In practice, most issues come from inconsistent login patterns—especially frequent IP/country changes and short “leaks” during a disconnect. Below is a clear, experience-based checklist to help you keep your access patterns stable.
Why do exchange accounts get flagged?
- Frequent IP changes: Germany today, Turkey tomorrow, France the day after.
- Reputation-risk shared IPs: one IP used by many unrelated users.
- DNS/WebRTC leaks: the platform detects your real region despite the VPN.
- Brief VPN drops: even a few seconds can be enough.
The main principle: consistency
Exchanges typically look for stable, predictable login behavior. When you consistently access from the same dedicated IP and country, your pattern appears normal and lower-risk. That’s why a trading-focused setup should prioritize static IP stability over random/dynamic endpoints.
Take Kill Switch seriously
Think of Kill Switch like a seatbelt. If the VPN disconnects, your internet traffic is blocked so your real IP doesn’t leak. Without it, you might not even notice that you briefly reconnected with your real IP—exactly the kind of signal that can trigger security checks.
What is an IP leak, and how do you prevent it?
Some apps and browsers can reveal your real network details through side channels like DNS or WebRTC. A practical approach:
- Enable secure DNS inside your VPN app (if available).
- Disable WebRTC leak paths in the browser (or use privacy-focused settings/extensions).
- Periodically verify your visible IP before logging in.
If you suspect you’ve been risk-flagged, what should you do?
- Log in only from the same static IP for a few days—do not switch countries.
- Postpone large withdrawals for 24–48 hours if possible.
- If you received a warning, contact support and keep your access pattern consistent.
Summary
To reduce restriction risk on Binance and Bybit, focus on three actions: a dedicated static IP, a fixed country, and Kill Switch enabled. If you keep these consistent, your risk typically drops dramatically.
