Wondering why you can't play on the server? Please read.

Trace works for TCP, but all game communication is UDP.

My provider said that I need to change the route manually and that only the server administrator can do this. Is this true?

No. That's complete rubbish. They're talking bollocks.

Quote from another Russian player I asked about conecting in from Russia:  "I can't answer him yet, but he should use vpn. I have both a website and a game open with vpn. After the blocks started, neither the website nor the game opens for me, it only works with vpn etc.  Unfortunately, this is a new reality."

So, it's government rules that are impacting you. Your ISP will know this 100%.
