4Chan is an anonymous English-language imageboard website. Launched by Christopher "moot" Poole in October 2003, 4chan hosts boards dedicated to a wide variety of topics, from anime and manga to video games, music, literature, fitness, politics, and sports, among others. Unlike most web forums, 4chan users do not need to register an account and can post anonymously.
4chan gives its users plenty of privacy and internet freedom, but it also has strict policies to maintain the healthy operation of the platform. If users breach the banning policy of 4Chan, they will be banned permanently. Sometimes, these bans are not always justified, and there is a high chance of you being falsely accused of wrongdoings. For example, if you use a dynamic IP which belongs to someone who get banned, then you will be unable to access the site.
Since users are anonymous without a registered account, 4Chan does not ban the users’ account but block the users’ IP addresses. So, the quick and easy way to bypass the permanent ban of 4Chan is to change the IP address. You can unplug your router, call your ISP to assign you a new IP or change your IP with a proxy and VPN.
If your IP is dynamic, you can unplug your router from the power supply and plug it back after a few minutes. Then you may get a new IP. However, this does not guarantee a new IP. Sometimes, you may need to wait overnight to get a new IP.
You can also call your ISP to assign you another static IP address. But this can be time and effort consuming. If, unfortunately, you get banned again, you need to repeat this process again.
In contrast, it is convenient and easy to change the IP with a proxy and a VPN. 4Chan is actively blocking proxy and VPN IPs, so not all proxy and VPN services work. You need to test each VPN before finding one works. Before each tempt, it is necessary to clean the browser cookies.
Free VPNs are not recommended. Free VPNs always have a few servers and a lot of users share the same server. If 4Chan detects many users from the same IP, it may identify the IP as a VPN server and block it. Most paid VPNs have many servers located in different countries and regions, so you have a vast array of IP addresses to choose. It is less liable to be detected and blocked. If one server is blocked, you can just change into another server to unblock 4Chan again.
