Unable to connect to miasma| freon

[nasty]

Hello, fellas!
Cant get in to the game for approx last few weeks. I think it bcause of we are being disconnected from external web. Foreign servers not avalible anymore.
replacing .u files didnt help.
When trying to connect, the screen displays "ut2004://37.187.146.47/index.ut2" and nothing happens.
Anybody have the same problem?

[Nardaq_NL]

can you ping the server?

how is your trace (tracert in windows) to the mia server looks like?

[Piglet]

He can definitely reach the machine....as this site is hosted on it....

Please can you paste in contents of UT2004.log after trying to connect?

[nasty]

Yes, i can ping server's ip:
ping 37.187.146.47
data packages: sent = 4, recieved = 4, lost = 0

This is more than likely caused by a country specific and very internal ruleset (as written in the 1st post) -> "web" is safe to browse, other random ports are sketchy and are automatically blocked.
HYDRO had a similar scenario few years ago, where he was unable to connect to the servers for about 8 months.

[Piglet]

I've had another Russian player found that all communication on port 7777 has been blocked by their ISP. They have used a proxy to successfully get through and play.

Like Zeus said, I suspect this is what's happening to you too.

[Vidmal]

Hey m8, try the ZAPRET DISCORD YOUTUBE package, it helped me today

[Natalia]

Hi, I can't access the server. It won't load at all. What should I do?

[Piglet]

Hi, are you still having problems? I thought I updated something that would let you connect.

[Pyc]

Hey, I had this issue several times, last time a couple of days ago. Looks like my ISP turned on some temporarily restrictions because a UDP based VPN stopped working at the same time. I was able to connect though another VPN, but I got disconnected for using a proxy.

[NAF-NAF(RU)]

I can't access your website since the new year. I can only access it through a VPN. However, you are blocking me through the VPN. I am writing this through a translator.

[Pyc]

Piglet, any chance you allow playing with VPN?

[Piglet]

Hiya, I fixed it for you before you asked yesterday. Please let me know whether you're able to connect now.

[Pyc]

Hiya, I fixed it for you before you asked yesterday. Please let me know whether you're able to connect now.

Thank you! Look like now I can use VPN.

Yesterday after one game finished I was unable to connect to the next one. So I experimented with DPI bypass tools and then successfully connected. But I'm not sure what helped. I will write here if I experience this issue again.
