I am the one of the russian players who are experiencing unability to play game due to Telegram blockings in our country. The following IPs are affected (at least for my ISP):
- 18.197.52.86 gseuc1.playboundless.com (this one I got from netstat)
- 54.149.151.239 gsusw1.playboundless.com (this one I got from a linked thread and pinged)
13.32.176.111 and two others posted in the thread seem to be unaffected.
I’ve managed to get a temporary workaround by setting up VPN on my Italian-based VPS I use for development things and routing Amazon subnets through it, but sadly it increases latency and uses more throughput, so the game is barely playable half of the time
I guess we should just wait when these clowns will realize that banning /12 subnets is plain dumb and unblock them (sorry for the rant, but these blockings affected about half of the websites I use, including Github Releases and NuGet). Of course I’m not asking to move the servers somewhere, I think about a maximum of 5 people from my country is playing Boundless so it’s not worth the effort.
By the way, are these Amazon instances offer the same functionality (I mean, are they replicas of the same server in different geo zones)?
If so, I think I could try to re-route the blocked IPs to the accessible ones through hosts
or netsh
to make things simpler.
This is the only game I keep playing despite the necessity of a VPN. Thank you very much for your hard work
