Advantages and disadvantages of using a bypass to play online in 4.90 update?

[TheArcuzHunter]

I see a lot of people doing this from YouTubers that have used a bypass that has been going used since 4.88 to play on 4.89 Update last year, and now on 4.89 to play 4.90 update this year, and I wanted to know how good or how bad can it be so I can explain to them, but I wanted to be entirely sure. Can someone educate me please?

I've read twice somewhere a year ago that it could get you banned more than anything.

All information that you find on youtube & forums is pure speculation. Only Sony knows when & why to ban an account or console.

The common sense says that if Sony has the requisite of be on the latest firmware version to access PSN, and you are accessing it from a lower version, it could be a reason to be banned. But that's not confirmed.

Some facts are:
- It is possible to access PSN using the proxy method. But it 100% detectable. It doesn't spoof the FW version.
- If you login using the proxy method, it is uncertain if you're flagged or not, since the bans normally occurs days or weeks later.
- If you cheat online, use mods/menus, harass other players or play games like CoD, GTAV, Destiny and other games with CFW syscalls enabled, it's almost 100% sure that you'll be banned.

Some recommendations are:
1- Spoof your real IDPS/PSID with spare ones whenever it is possible.
2- Use a secondary PSN account to go online. If the account is banned, your purchased content will not be affected.
3- Disable automatic login to PSN and disable CFW syscalls before go online.
4- Don't use cheats or mods/menus and never run homebrews while you're online.
5- Keep a low profile.

Thank you very much for the specifics, Aldo's! Love your work, hope you have a great time with everything you do

I thought that too, but people tend to let their guard down if they don't see ban waves every other week.

Some even go as far to claim that you cannot get banned anymore. Well, perhaps for now, but better be safe than sorry.

was more because ruining public lobbies is just extremely aggravating

I only respect modmenu skids if they keep it to private lobbies or at least don't just go godmode+noclip+aimbot+rankhax, atleast do something fun if you host a modded lobby

(if I had a lobby, I'd force an 18 player game of domination on world at war since nobody plays other game modes now, but I don't do that kinda thing XD would just tell anyone who didn't want to join to go to Mercenary TDM or another game mode)
