Certain VPN providers won't give more then one person the same IP. This is something you have to worry about when using a proxy.

Most of the big branded ones do actually share IP addresses, it's too expensive to do anything else and dedicating IP addresses actually results in the VPN being less anonymous/protective. Nevertheless, they were referring to the IP history in regards to multis. If you are assigned an IP someone else has used in the past (they don't have to still be using it). Our tools will potentially mark it as a multi, I'd expect the staff to notice when something is a VPN and/or whether or not that IP is being used simultaneously between multiple users.

This can actually occur with traditional ISPs, though VPN providers don't usually have an ASN block with millions of IPs but rather more likethousands so it is pretty unlikely.
