I found the site and tried to check, but it wouldn't show me anything without being logged in, so I created an account. Now that I'm signed in though, I can only find vague rules, like

The User's account is for personal use only. Only the individual who holds the account is allowed to connect on it. Connections to the User's account are recorded so that we can detect account sharing. The User agrees to keep his login secret, We won't offer technical support for account hacking.

How does this work with a phone or laptop, for example? What if I sign in at my parents house when I visit for a few days?

Can anyone help please?

If there’s a problem and someone with admin access looks at the account and sees 20 unique IPs, some of which were logged in at the same time as others, account sharing.

They are not going to ban you because you’re logged in on some remote machine.

It’s written to make it seem like the system monitors all this in real time but it’s not. Just use the account like any other you’ll be fine.

So what may be the cause of a person to monitor the account? Some policy violation, and then they'll see account sharing, get mad = ban? :D

No one is monitoring your account. The system is logging stuff. Your IP. Login attempts. Etc. that’s just default. In case an admin needs to pull details of an account.

Most of what they are talking about is automated handled by the system they are using as it interacts with the database.

You’re thinking of a team of 12 in lab coats in front of cyber terminals. It’s more like a Reddit mod type of situation with a couple of dudes in their underwear with a notebook on their laps.

Just don’t share your account. It’s unlikely you’ll get flagged for anything nefarious if you aren’t actually doing anything nefarious. I’m sure whatever they have in place can handle a modern world where people log into stuff from phones and tablets and PCs and just about anything.

That's good to know, thanks :)

I've been using it for many years, but only from my home. Is there any danger of getting flagged if I login to the RD website from my phone (to add something), but someone at my home is streaming from my home IP?
