Gonna be that guy.  Have you tried turning it off and on again (srsly)

Yeh, I feel worryingly nauseous. 

My friend just text me asking for our details because even though he doesn't want a coach ticket, he loves the buzz so much he needs the T-Day hit. Mental.

Same. But I am trying as hard as if for myself on Sunday. My stomach is in knots.

Has anyone used a VPN for this? Just wondering if the alternative route through the internet has any benefits.

I would also like to know this.

Interesting....so I just checked the IP address of my laptop and my uni PC, which are both currently on the same Eduroam wifi, and they have different IP addresses (well, first six digits are the same, but the last four are different). So, I'm good to go with both on the wifi, right?

How did you check the IP?  Sounds like an internal IP address - it's external that counts.  Are they they same if you go here?

I've got a few reg numbers for him if he needs more.

If you're not nervous, you don't care enough.

So many variables, exit point, pipe back to the UK, quality of local network.

Just another thing that if it worked - 'best idea ever', if it didn't -'booo'.

I have access to one and I'm not bothering myself.

Still different 

Maybe that's why universities don't suffer the same over refreshing fate as you might in a house - something about how the university Eduroam wifi works. No one would ever get a ticket in halls otherwise!

Thanks for that.

We have a few devices available so I am tempted to try one with the VPN just to see how it does on the off chance.

Do, if it gets you a ticket I'm bang up for being wrong!

I'm sure it's been discussed hundreds of times but what's the issue with multiple devices on the same IP address? Does it just slow the network down?

too many connection requests from the same IP, gets you kicked out.

Ahh okay, so two people trying in the same household should be okay as long as you're not going mad with the refreshing? It's just if you had like 10 people refreshing every second?

[fred quimby]

That is my take on it. we have 2 laptops running and one through work . going easy on the refreshes

That's what I've picked up from here, but others disagree anacdotally. (?)

[vintagelaureate]

If anyone wants me to try for them tonight; send your details across. 

I can be vouched for by people on here.
