Would be nice to try, until I got banned yesterday for trying to connect two Colab runtimes together via SOCKS5. Turns out connecting to any proxy at all immediately suspends your Colab usage for "suspected abusive activity"!

appeal in product and we're usually pretty forgiving
Already did, but I accidentally did this once before and appealed and got unbanned some hours later. It's been almost 48 hours since now, so I don't think they're too forgiving for repeat offenses.
I have no dog in this fight - but your actions give the appearance of probing for weaknesses if you already knew this was not allowed from your prior accident.
Not really, I just wanted to bypass ratelimits from certain download sites so I figured that maybe rotating notebook sessions would work. Silly me for not checking TOS every other week :P
