what i was trying to say is that whenever my ip changes it always changes to one of the 4 ranges. The last two values keep changing, sometimes only the last value changes. For example:
25.x.y.z 30.x.y.z 50.x.y.z 100.x.y.z

Absolutely; in fact, the point of tracking a fingerprint is they don't have to rely on cookies or other traces that are prone to being deleted. And changing your device or browser settings the wrong way enhances the fingerprint, instead of solving the problem.Originally Posted by KnowledgeMelon

For trackers, though, this isn't a terrible concern. Just changing your User-Agent should be enough.

Mystery solved
As a casual Chrome user, I'd add this to my command line:How do i spoof the user agent string on chrome? In the link you posted above i could only find random agent spoofer for firefox browser.
That will change the User-Agent for the all sites, though, while you likely want something that can be configured on an individual basis and is less unwieldy than the developer tools. I haven't tried the User Agent Switcher extension, but it looks good enough.Code:--user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.0; Windows 95; set the content between quotes to the string you want to use)"

I think this is why i was banned again on the geeks, i created account through my smarphone using mobile data(different ip). This is the first tracker to ban me multiple times for creating new accounts. This did not happen on other trackers like animebytes, torrentleech. Animebytes took 1 month to catch me for duping.

Note: after rereading my above post, I want to mention that when I said "changing your device or browser settings (...) enhances the fingerprint", it should be read as "changing your device settings or browser settings".
This looks like one of those "mystery" bans, as I'm guessing you had never been on TheGeeks from your phone or its Internet connection before. There's always the IRC support channel to find out their side of the story...
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
I never used the geeks through my phone. I didnt go and ask in the irc channel as i know what they are going to say. Is it possible for them to know that im using the tracker through mobile data? Does my browser send this info to the tracker?
Well, your IP will be that of a mobile provider, so it's not very hard to find out. However, that's not reason enough to warrant a ban on any tracker. Based on the information given, the only "wrong" thing I see here is that due to NAT, another mobile customer may have used the same address on another account, and even then it seems unlikely. That's why I suggested IRC - even if you know what they'll say, you may at least get a clue from them in the process. Nothing to lose.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
Can tracker staff check whether i'm using Random Agent Spoofer for firefox? Can they detect it? I had been a long time member of thegeeks before getting disabled. I think they have checked all the ips logged and noticed the ip ranges which im on. I have another friend who has an account and he's giving it to me but i want to be sure that i have done everything correctly before logging in from home IP.
I have changed IP, cleared browser data. I have installed the random agent spoofer right now, should i leave it as it is or should i modify any of the settings?

You should disable webRTC.

In that case, you're better off using the same User-Agent as him, rather than changing it.

Anon what do you get on the panopticlick brower fingerprint test? it said to unblock sites that dont track sites. but couldnt trackers say they dont track but then actually track you anyways?
what browser do you use?
Opera 12.18. The test says I "have strong protection against Web tracking" but my "browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 138,986 tested so far" with "at least 17.08 bits of identifying information". But after scrolling down, all they could get from me was the User-Agent and Accept headers (which doesn't mean I could change them and be done, other headers and their request order are also important).
It could be worse
Can you give more details on this?it said to unblock sites that dont track sites.

the third checkmark, the one above fingerprinting.Opera 12.18.

Does your browser unblock 3rd parties that promise to honor Do Not Track? ✗ no
What are the accept headers?
I get these dont know how to fix them.
--Limited supercookie test- Dom local/session storage - Yes
Should i change dom to false?
--Hash of canvas fingerprint
--Browser Plugin Details
they can also see my plugins. how do i fix this?
Something like this (Java Applet; application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2; ) (Java Applet; application/x-java-applet;version=1.3; ) (Java Applet; application/x-java-applet;version=1.8; ) (Java Applet; application/x-java-vm; ) (Java Applet; application/x-java-applet;deploy=11.91.2; )
im using firefox
--HTTP_ACCEPT Headers
--Hash of WebGL fingerprint
All zeros, what does that mean? safe
--Langauges
--System fonts
Anyway to block those two?
--Cookies enabled? Yes
Do you disable cookies?
anon - I downloaded your opera profile. How do i use it?
