yeah whatever is there a way to play or not? so i dont lose my time trying conncet 20 hours

If you are really doing that, your problem does not lie with the connection issues of the game. I can tell you that.

I am seeing a lot of people here misunderstanding what this whitelist is. This is not a "everyone on this list gets through everything". We only control certain layers of the network ourselves. Some of our providers control higher layers than we do and some of our providers offer white listing. We are trying to get a feature to whitelist players on one layer of the network on one of our providers.

If we are able to get this whitelisting feature set up, you will not suddenly be immune to impact from DDoS and we are not always using the specific provider that we are setting this white list up for.

I haven't got to try much today, went to sleep after that cheater got yeeted but I got on instantly today no problem and we are chillin so far

Didn't think I'd insta get on either by any means. More of a chance to get on during big hits. You cleared it up though with that post dw.

Got on after doing an alt f4 and then dc'd? While editing :p

Did get on again but do plan to check later.

by adding "185.11.145.254 octowow.st" to my /etc/hosts file i was able to connect

that worked for me
opened C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in text editor as admin and added 185.11.145.254 octowow.st in final line et voila i'm logged in again oO
thx to first poster.
anyone who doesn't get it talk to ai what all this means and make an informed decision

though to be clear. i was able to log in previously. so maybe it didn't solve jackshit and the time it took me to edit my hosts file reset the timer where they gave my ip another chance.. what do i know

dont use ai if you dont know cause you wont learn
