Now, this is a regular occurrence people creating threads saying; “Is XBLSE or other servers safe with Live?” and so on. This thread I have created will answer that exact question and tell you how to be safe and not be banned for something stupid you've done. What stealth server should I use? There are many on the internet and Google is your friend, you want a service that offers decent protection such as XOSC spoofing, ban bypasses and all that other security to make your KV's last longer. What servers shouldn't I use? Any servers that are offering free server please please avoid, I know I will probably get shouted down at but it's common sense these services don't offer protection like paid stealth services do and will result in a KV ban in minutes, matter of hours or a day depending how much modding etc you were doing at the time. How do I make my KV last longer? To make your KV (Key Vault) last longer don't mod excessively, it's common sense if you have God Mode in Black Ops II your ass is going to get reported and banned for life, a waste of $10 – So don't mod excessively. If you want to mod excessively in GTA, CoD etc do it in a private match with friends that won't report you Don't use external XRPC tools, tools that are on your computer to modify as some of these have built-in KV stealer’s, upload to external servers and sell on to other people so flash your KV to your nand if you have a dual nand system to avoid this. If your running FreeStyleDash remove it from your launch.ini file so it will boot into the Official Microsoft Dash and this in turn won't get you banned and if you can't be bothered just hold the RB down when the console is booting up.
