add the IP to your /etc/hosts file

185.165.170.59 normal.octowow.st

If it fixes the problem, the issue is DNS not the server

edit: remember it's there so if the IP changes again you remember to clear it
I tried this but it didn’t work. Do I need to restart my pc afterwards?
Are you using Linux?
Try ping normal.octowow.st and does it reply with IP 185.165.170.59 ?
It replied not with that

You need root access to edit /etc/hosts. Use sudo and any text editor will do.

Hi,

Sorry for not fully trusting you, but I feel wary about just routing to a different IP. Who knows, I might play Raven by accident.
Is there a way to verify what IP i should use in my /etc/hosts?

Also how would I ping the hardcore or PvP servers?

Thanks a lot

My ping output tp normal.octowow.st is and i get the same result pinging the suggested other IP
