Playing from Russia. This week started using German proxy because in Russia there are issues with accesibilty of websites hosted on AWS and other big hosting providers. Today after DDOS could not login for hours (using a steam client). Guess what? I disabled my proxy, and now everything works just fine. It looks like CCP just banned some wrong ip addresses or something. ---

People, this has nothing to do with your local client, it’s all based on the internet itself so reinstalling/cleaning cache will no fix it… Did anyone notice this post in Russian few days ago? > **[EVE Online - Проблемы с подключением к игре на территории РФ](https://www.eveonline.com/article/p7e6fr/problemy-s-podklyucheniem-k-igre-na-territorii-rf)** > > Check out this news item for more information on IP address blocking by the Russian Federation that may be affecting gameplay for those inside Russian Borders. Most likely not. Seems the Russians to block any discourse and any opposition to main government first started to block certain IPs that many eastern Europeans use, also affecting some others i.e. CCP. Since then many from that European area switched to using VPNs so think to prevent those from reaching out again major indiscriminate DDOS was started from Russia and unfortunately just like before CCP got affected by this and they just doing their best to fix it… Of course it’s a speculation on my part but would definitely not be surprising… So give them a break people cause it’s not their fault. ---

i just like the majority of you pay to play this game, but i can’t figure out how being generally belligerent, winging, or assigning blame to CCP is going to change anything for you (surely it’s not really making you feel any better? ). i think it’s safe to say CCP could have done without this event too…just sayin. ---
