Can I get banned for using Netlimiter?

[Salamidealer]

I want to use NetLimiter 4 to get into an empty session where I can do cargo missions and sell/buy car stuff without getting bothered by people destroying the cars/cargo. I don't want to get banned so I'm just trying to make sure this is safe. Got the Idea from this video btw:

EDIT: I installed netlimiter now and according to some friends it works fine, thanks for all the replies! Here is a gem:

No you won't, doesn't matter if you do it via task manager, firewall, netlimiter or other means, you can't get banned for ending up in a public session alone.
If it were different, thousands of people would've been banned over the past 12 months since everybody with a CEO or MC does that and especially at the moment it's very obvious that a lot of people set up such public solo sessions.

Better to unplug dsn cable on 2/3 seconds while playing on the session instead using netlimiter.

1. Open up task manager.
2. Go to performance tab.
3. Click resource monitor.
4. Go to network tab.
5. Locate GTA 5 on the list.
6. Right click and suspend process.
7. Wait roughly 7 seconds.
8. Resume process.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 as needed.
10. Enjoy an empty lobby.
11. Profit.

Thanks for the quick answer, by the way how do I do it over task manager? That would be great to know so I don't have to install some weird programm.

My cable is on the back of my PC and it's hard to get out, so that isn't an option for me unfortunately

I haven't tried that but it seems to work according to other reddit users.
Personally i just use my firewall (you just need to block port 6672 on inbound and outbound) if i want to end up in one but as a said currently, so many people set up such sessions that i end up in very small (1-5 people) sessions where everything is peaceful anyway.

Netlimiter doesn't modify the games files in any way, just limits the amount of bandwith the application can receive so there's nothing to get banned for and its perfectly safe to use.

Also, if you want to do stuff with your friends have one of you use netlimiter set at around 30kps and although no randoms will get in you can still manually join each other games. We've all been doing it for ages with no issues

If you don't want to download Netlimiter you can also use Windows Firewall as well.

yeah I wanna go through THAT much trouble.

As to the OP, no you won't get banned, I use Netlimiter regularly. It's not as if it's altering your game files or anything, it just limits the bandwith a program uses which isn't illegal

[Dagestan Coach]

I'm doing a little bit different i block gta 5 ports in firewall and i'm always in solo lobby when i need help i unblock ports so friends can join

The thing with Netlimiter is that loading to a new lobby which you will be alone takes a long time, it's not worth using it when there are better alternative such as suspending GTA5.exe in resource monitor, that takes 10 seconds to make a solo lobby.
