What to do if you're permanently banned on a Minecraft server?

Nearly a year ago, I was banned from my favorite server, which I had been on for over a year. Despite not having any hacks, the staff still claimed that I did. I'm banned from the service website, because my ban appeal was denied. Basically, there's no way I can go back there on my old account. I've tried using other accounts, but since I'm IP banned, those got banned as well.

How can I still play on this server? Would I need to get a completely new router? A new computer? I know I'd need to make a new account, but I'm not sure how I could bypass the IP ban.

Minecraft server is having port issues, and I can't figure out what's wrong?

My firewall isn't blocking it, I know i port forwarded it correctly, but www.canyouseeme.org says the port 25565 is closed. I can connect with my internal up and local host, but everyone else and I can't connect with my external ip. (I'm using the latest 1.6.4 build bukkit has, because I have problems with 1.7.9).

My Minecraft Server IP won't work for other people?
