Can't play without VPN again

[Hasta]

ISP's been at it again in my country, just like in June, some tunneling shit or something got over-restricted, collaterally causing this game to not be playable. Below is the error text. I'm a potato in Java, but the problem is definitely location, because VPN helps. Please advise on how to fix login through ISP restrictions (?) or suggest a good (and internationally available) VPN service, preferably not too expensive (the tested ones give way too high ping time).

The same issue as in summer, but now the problem occurs not when logging into an account, but when launching the game itself. I press the 'Play' button and nothing happens. And when starting the official client, it immediately gives an error.

[Chammer]

The same problem (press "play" does nothing).
I've heard that the IP of w16.1 server is not the same as IP of w16. Is that true? Where can I see the IP of w16.1? Perhaps my Zapret will "eat" it and give me a chance.

Anyway, here's my problem:

1. If I try to run without Zapret, the start menu doesn't load.
2. If I try to run it with Zapret, the menu loads very quickly. It checks online players, allow me to log into my account, but only shows my characters from the w16.1 (whithout my w16 characters). However, pressing the "play" button on character does nothing.

Starlink is wildly affordable

[frostwyrm]

Yes, same problem, with zapret on 16.1 it reaches the game, but there is a black screen and does not load anything, but on 16 it enters without problems.

This is the error message returned by a Java file downloaded from a website. It's impossible to download; the file won't load.

Seeing the problem being likely the game failing to download the updates list requesting from a certain location, I guess Loftar finally went full-on political censorship of playerbase by nationality. Figures.

Anyways, @ all the players with same problem: buy VPN and don't tell anyone you did.

The thread may be closed now.

It doesn't work. I played for quite a long time (over a year) via VPN until Haven & Hearth (and only it) stopped updating and launching via Steam and connecting to the server via a custom client. I decided it was the VPN and turned on amnesia (it worked). On the same day, I rented a new VM in a European data center, with an IP address from a completely different country, and tried to log in—and again, I couldn't get on the server. I suspect that the problem is related to traffic masking or something similar that comes with the standard Vless package. I'll have to test it, by the way.

1. the servers are just hosted by Hetzner, assume the connection issues are coming from there
2. loftar couldn't give any less of a FUCK about your nationality. he also tried fixing these issues 3 times already afaik

Yes, same problem, with zapret on 16.1 it reaches the game, but there is a black screen and does not load anything, but on 16 it enters without problems.

use this UDP port 1066 for 16.1 and UDP 1870 for 16 world. it helped me
