WARNING: Freebuff provider may ban you for using it in OmniRoute

[hakergeniusz]

The provider of Freebuff may suspend (or simply: ban) your account for using it in non-official clients, like I got here.

Just a warning for everyone.

Thanks for the warning, @hakergeniusz, and sorry about your account. The email is unambiguous: Freebuff's free mode is allowed only through their official clients (CLI, Desktop, freebuff.com), and they suspend accounts that reach it through a third-party client or proxy. Routing it through OmniRoute is exactly that.

The Freebuff provider in OmniRoute doesn't warn about this today. Its connection hint even mentions obtaining the token via an "automated harvester". Other providers with a similar risk show a notice in the dashboard, and Freebuff should at minimum get the same (tracked in #15058). For anyone reading: don't route a Freebuff free-mode account you care about through OmniRoute. Their paid API at freebuff.com/account/api is the sanctioned way to use it from other tools.

If you want your account back, write to the support address in the email and say you've stopped using a third-party client.

Is there any way we can bypass it ??

Technically yes with trial and error when you spoof more and more things from official client. However I do not recommend that route, as your IP will probably get flagged. I have a similar situation for myself, as I used OpenCode Free tier in Pi coding agent, and I have my IP blocked from OpenCode.

@KavyaNagariya I won't help with getting around it, and I'd advise against it. Freebuff's rule (from the email shared above) is that its free mode is only allowed through their official clients, and they suspend accounts that reach it another way. Disguising requests so they look official is exactly what that rule forbids, so it risks the account and, as @hakergeniusz says from their own experience with another provider, possibly the IP too. If you want to use Freebuff from other tools, their paid API (freebuff.com/account/api) is the sanctioned route.
