6 years ago Since when would this be an issue with Stangeloop Games. IF your ISP is blocking the master server to connect to for the server list then maybe you should call your ISP and complain to them.
I am not having any issues here in North America. I don't see why you posted this here this is an Internet Service Provider issue or a country issue in Russia only if they are blocking them then complain to them not Strange Loop games.
Call your ISP and complain to them if thy are blocking the IP and find out why.
If it the Russian Government blocking the IP then well maybe you should contact some one in your government and find out why.
I did a bit more digging and found more info:
Also this was addressed in ticket #7496
https://github.com/StrangeLoopGames/EcoIssues/issues/7496
"0.7.4 uses new masterserver, masterserver.eco.strangeloopgames.com (54.213.175.208)"
English translated version of this page: https://tinyurl.com/yaen5emb
"Through the form published below, you can obtain data on measures taken to restrict access to sites and / or pages of Internet sites within the framework of meeting the requirements of Articles 15.1-15.6 of Federal Law No. 149-FZ of July 27, 2006 "On Information , information technologies and information protection "
When I enter that IP
It comes back with the following
Russian:
Статья основаниявнесения в реестр | Реквизиты основания внесения в реестр(орган принявший решение, номер, дата) | Ограничение доступа 15.3 | Генпрокуратура27-31-2015/Ид4082-15 04.12.2015
Translated English:
Searched for: 54.213.175.208 Total records found: 1
We draw your attention that the presence of the Internet site in the Registry does not at all mean full restriction of access to it, since access can be limited to a separate page of the site in the Internet. The locking method is reflected in the "Access restriction" column.
Founding Article Requisites for registration in the register (decision-making body, number, date) Restriction of access 15.3 The Prosecutor General's Office 27-31-2015 / ID4082-15 12/04/2015
so it looks like the Russian Prosecutor General's Office is the one responsible for the block. I would contact them to find out why. now they refer to section 15.3
https://blocklist.rkn.gov.ru/article15-3/

"On February 1, 2014, Article 15. 3 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2006, No. 149-FZ "On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection" came into force.
This legislation regulates the procedure for restricting access to sites on the Internet, containing information with calls for riots, carrying out extremist activities or participating in mass (public) events conducted in violation of the established procedure.
Roskomnadzor organizes restrictions on access to such information on the basis of the demand of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation or his deputy. "
The Prosecutor General's office website in English is located at https://eng.genproc.gov.ru/
Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation Bolshaya Dmitrovka, 15a GSP-3, Moscow 125993 RUSSIA Phone #: +7 (495) 987-56-56 Website: https://www.genproc.gov.ru/
Maybe the Russian Government would be happy is Strange Loops Games put a flag pole and a Russian Flag in the game so you can raise the Russian Flag every day :)
I would be very careful getting involved in this matter Strange Loop Games this sounds like a very political issue with this country. any assistance in helping them bypass this block may put Strange Loop Games in some very hot water.
I would seriously have a lawyer speak to them that represents Strange Loop Games I would not want to mess with the Prosecutor General's Office for the Russian Federation they don't seem to have much of a sense of humor over there.
