Common Questions About Cfx.re Network Bans

Answers to frequently asked questions about FiveM global network bans

According to the official Cfx.re policy, global network bans are not appealable. These bans are issued only in cases where there is clear evidence of malicious activity.

The duration varies based on the violation. Most bans for injecting into the FiveM client last between 1-6 months, but serious or repeated violations may result in permanent bans.

No, attempting to evade bans using VPNs or other methods is against the Cfx.re terms of service and will extend your ban duration if detected. It is better to wait out your ban period.

A server-specific ban only prevents you from joining that particular server, while a Cfx.re network ban prevents you from connecting to any FiveM server. The error message will specifically mention "banned from the Cfx.re network" if it is a global ban.
