Using Facebook Audience Network after being banned?
I am just now trying to get back into the game after getting banned a few months ago. I am using outlook for everything and a different browser to build everything with andromo. Then I got a burner laptop that I will use to upload things to Google play, plus use Admob with. I plan on using FAN in case of another ban. But will using my personal Facebook page be a tip to Google, or is it safe. I could use my wifes, but not sure if that is to close of a link to me. Maybe I am being paranoid.
Lastly, am I doing enough, is it safe to use my original laptop with just a different browser that never goes near anything google. And then just use the crappy netbook I got to do everything google related. I will take the burner laptop to Starbucks so that it isn't connected to my home network as well.
Thanks everyone.

1. Your PC COULD be OK, but you need the following:
a. A different Windows account
b. A portable firefox, or a firefox with fingerprinting protection addons
c. Different IP (what if in that Starbucks there is another person with banned GP and you get linked again?). Starbucks is not OK. Better steal some neighbor's wifi if you are up for it. Or do all work at a friend's house.
d. MAC address changer if you gotta use the same wireless device to connect to net. Many freewares doing it.
e. For Andromo, you don't need a different PC. The resulted apk is created at a server not at your machine, they cant connect you this way.
2. About FAN - I dont know if you are concerned about social networks and what they expose of your private data. Because I am. I hate fb, never had one. Anyway - I created one account yr ago to promote apps, but it had the name of the "apps company" not my own. I used that for FAN, but eventually was notified that I need real name else I might lose control of my FAN revenue. Eventually I was forced to change to my real name much to my dismay. Now all settings like discoverability etc are turned off. No friends at all in my fb, etc.
Up to you which account you will use and how you will play for it. But I dont think this will affect Google Play.
If you use a new pc that has never had any connection with previous account, then no problems. Use any browser (avoid Chrome if you prefer).
I have reported it and the answer I got was that for some users this error happens regardless of browser and they need to replace the dashboard with a better one, but until then I can pull the details I want through API.
The api documentation is here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/audience-network/reporting-api#api
I really got problem managing to pull the revenue data by date for All Apps together. The sample codes are not helpful and they refer to "access token" without saying if its user access token or app token. I tried all I could find and I googled but cant find a working snippet of code.
Does one of you make more sense over it? I think I just need the most basic metric of all, the full revenue per date.
Can you help?
