I have a Local Area Network (LAN) at home running through a gateway computer. Can I use one of these machines to be a bot while I chat on another one?
Technically yes, but you still end up looking like a “clone” because both machines will have the same IP. Some servers will allow you to run a second “instance” of your client as a bot, others will not. If the bot is a game bot or amusement bot, you probably have a better chance of running it as a second instance. But for a long term bot connection, the machine hosting your bot should have a unique IP, ideally.
