"The network you are connected to has been temporarily blocked because of suspicious activity"

[DanMossa]

So my code has been working great for a while now but then I was all of a sudden bombarded with this error message.
Any idea on how to fix?
Is there a way to use proxies?

[DanMossa]

Any ideas. I'm a bit confused because I still have the error even though it says temporarily

[lizzielizzielizzie]

Perhaps try using a new account from a different IP address. It sounds like you may have been [ip] banned, just based on the error message - but I can't say for sure

[DanMossa]

I used a proxy but now I get the error

array(3) {
["error"]=>
int(1)
["message"]=>
string(22) "API Connection failed."
["result"]=>
string(73) "Failed connect to feelinsonice-hrd.appspot.com:3128; Connection timed out"
}

@Dgameman1 It looks like you are trying to connect to the API URL via port 3128, which will not work.

@cuonic

        CURLOPT_PROXY => '220.231.32.195',
        CURLOPT_PROXYPORT => '3128',

This is the code I added into it. I'm willing to pay you money to help fix me fix this at this point.

I wouldn't spend money on this, but I'm willing to help you out over Skype
in two hours if you would like.

@JorgenPhi That sounds amazing. My skype name is Dgameman1

[JorgenPhi]

For those who want an interesting approach of bypassing this restriction, try proxying this library through a popular anonymizing network. Works like a charm.

@JorgenPhi That's great as a short term solution but eventually all the exit nodes will get blocked by the API, or Snapchat will notice a load of Tor traffic coming to their API, which will result in them banning every connection from a Tor exit node.

[JorgenPhi]

Yes, it's a short term solution to a bigger problem, but how can we make it
not as "suspicious" ? Who says the official app doesn't make some call over
a proprietary protocol (the chat protocol for instance) or something
similar that we aren't mimicking?

I have a web app in development using a modified version of the class sending out randomized User Agents (8.1.1 / 8.1.1 Beta / 8.1.2 - Nexus 4 / Nexus 7 / HTC One / Motorola X) and after login I make a request to /ph/device sending a random device token. Then just make sure you don't log in for every request to the API by keeping the auth_token and username as cookies in the user's browser, or in a database. I use the app actively and have not had any locked accounts or blocked IPs.

I haven't had time to look at the chat protocol, does it make a direct TCP connection to the "gateway server" or something ? Snapchat could do something clever like that to keep us out, but for the moment they haven't been very innovative like that.

@JorgenPhi I have sent you the request over the skype for resolve this same bug. I am facing "The network you are connected to has been temporarily blocked because of suspicious activity" bug.
