Can some experienced people detail steps to undertake to not become an obvious target if a ban wave occurs? And yes, any one can get banned at any given time, I just want to ensure I'm taking the right steps.
To be safe, I wouldn't connect to PSN or use the internet connection on the PS3 unless you absolutely need to, once HAN is installed on your system you can use HAN Toolbox to activate HAN offline so there's no need for internet unless you use your PS3 for other reasons.
The ban shouldnt be as common since you have to connect to a proxy server in order to bring 4.82 online with psn,which is the only firmware that works with han.To avoid a ban just dont join a lobby with a modder or use a modded psn account on a han ps3.
