Pakistan routeblocked?

[AK47]

Didn't found, can't post another link?

Now whats this......  can,t login

I stumbled upon this on SAMP forums - http://forum.sa-mp.com/showthread.php?t=488263

If there is no routeblock on your routes, then it very well could be that your internet provider and/or government is actually blocking connections to Argonath. They did this for many popular SAMP servers so Argonath could be on their blacklist.

If this is really the case then I suggest you guys get together and complain to the ISP and write to your government representatives.

You guys should also try bypassing this tyranny by seeing if VPNs work. There are free VPNs out there (altho they are not very fast), just google them. If you want it to be non-throttled then you will have to pay a premium VPN service.

As I am against government controlled censorship, I honestly would set up a VPN service on a server to allow you guys to join, but I don't have much money so yea, sorry

"It seems like the government of Pakistan banned several sa-mp severs on all the pakistani ISPs.

See http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f3/p...thread-189871/"

And...

There is no indications of anyone of you being routeblocked by us. By checking the link Chase posted, i honestly think that's the problem right now. If it is, then sadly, there is nothing we can do to help to get you guys back ingame.

Lemme say some words.
When Argonath converted from 0.3x to 0.3z, we could join Argonath without using VPN, and after one day It went off for us again, What's the real problem. So, now PTA unblocked us for 1 day? or there is another problem.

Write a letter to PTA, it's not Argonath, stated multiple times.

Why would just they block us from only this server...Other server work fine, and how we could join the server without the VPN? They unblocked us for 1 day? when the server converted to 0.3z? I think it's server problem but not sure.

Have you read the articles posted?

And I stumbled on a similar topic to this on another community, they have the same problem, it's not the server there either, it's the PTA.

They can do one thing, and it can solve this problem while changing server IP, but they won't, We are f**king bored of these VPNs, Higher ping & slowass.
Well, and my friend sent a letter to PTA, and they replied that they don't do that shits. 

Well, they can't block games servers.

This is a part the post from the other community;

As of lately, it seems either Pakistani ISP's, Government or both has disabled access to either ports or services -.. or countries, disallowing our Pakistani players to connect to ****. The Lead Admin team has therefore decided to allow usage of VPN if you are affected by said internet moderation. (And only then!)

Read through the articles again, I'm sure they can block that.

[Declan]

Okay, they blocked us, then how did we get unblock when the server converted in 0.3z?
dis make m    wait, I am sleepy, see you tommorow

Ever thought that maybe they needed to update something to the blocking script the moment we changed to 0.3z?

Also why would both communities have the same problem?????

Logically, how would Argonath unblock a range for just adding 4/3 files......? I'm pretty sure that they're fooling you around because of useless reasons.

A more important question, since the problem of blocking is not in our end, would be why the fuck PTA would track the updates and developments of small gaming communities in order to enforce a nationwide blockade. Not how, but why.

It's your own problem, use a VPN. There is really nothing Argonath can do. It's your government that is blocking your access, not us.

Might be because there's "haram" in Argonath. :o

Why would they ban the gaming server and not the forum?
