Title: Unable to find servers
Post by: Akynos on September 16, 2012, 11:43:13 am
Hello,

I recently moved in university and am using the campus' internet. It works all fine, but I can't update the launcher or see the servers.
If any of you knows what steps might help me in this, I'd be really grateful :)

Thank you !

Have you checked that the campus firewall isn't blocking access to gaming servers?

I guess they're likely blocking most game IPs and make it impossible to connect to most gaming servers. I guess you're already lucky enough to be able to connect to gaming sites. :D

I sorta figured that out :D sooo, anyone knows how to bypass it? I'm sure there is a way, I ain't the first and I saw many websites with info on it, but its always best if someone with direct experience with warband could help me :)

If it's set in your campus firewall the only way to get around it will be to talk with a friendly IT tech, and hope that he'll unblock certain IPs for you.

Fun fact: I did a Games Design BTEC in 2005-07, and for the first 6 months the college firewall blocked all websites that included the term: "Computer games".

Haha, thankfully its not that bad here :D
I actually used programs such as sockscap , httptunnel and yourfreedom and I can see the servers, only that the connection is so slow it's unplayable ( bits by bits).
So if anyone is good with those...
