@erkulgames Hi mate, i'm the Italian guy that wrote you some month ago about the issue. I can confirm the platform is back to normal, and for this i THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'll perform some more chech and will keep you updated

@fratellicrozza Non trovo domande simili alla mia e non trovo canali in cui chiedere: come mai i podcast delle puntate sono fermi ad Aprile 2025?

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca Yep, at least i get a response

{"statusCode":418,"message":"Blocked by CORS policy","error":"I'm a teapot"}

this means the service at least is reachable from my side

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca i perfectly know this. I hope you can get support from your ISP. So sad for this, also because this Piracy shield won't stop piracy, but for sure is stopping regular services. 6 months ago this system has blocked access from italy to all the google services. That's unbelivable

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca if you visit this page, whioch is the offical way to check if an IP is banned, and insert the below IP you'll see the message:

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca I don't know if the underlaying protocol is UCEPROTECTTL3, what is know is that the ip address that respond to https://t.co/ZBfzl61daK got banned since october 2024

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca in italy, since at least 1 year the authority has put in place a system that bans IPs which has been found streaming illegal content. It's a (strong)= measure to avoid illegal sports event streaming and movie streaming. The system is called PIRACY SHIELD.

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca If it's not a problem for you, it would be great, i can't immagine playing SC without DPSCalculator to be honest.
But i know that this could be tedious for you (since this is not a problem on your side), so i'll not complain if you don't want to deal with this

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca The only alternative that comes to my mind is to try to reboot servers hoping they renew the IP and get one not in the ban list. Anyway, big F to italian laws makers

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca That IP address was banned since october 2024 here in italy, maybe the server you're using was rebooted and it was assigned that IP address which was previously assigned to a server that was streaming illegal content.
The fact is: DPSCalculator is no more accessible from italy

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca Ok i think i've found the reason.
In Italy we have, since at least 1 year, a governative service that blocks IP connected to streaming piracy services.
The IP address 51.77.157.121 connected to https://t.co/MtY6CfpKsc is in the ban list of this service. That's unbelivable

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca Negative, still timeout
I asked a colleague to open https://t.co/8Nb5SUKDgR , he never opened this webisite since he doesnt play SC, and he gets the same error. I'm starting tinking is just related to italian calls? Let me try a poll on the SC italian community

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca Seems that those calls goes in TIMEOUT

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca I tried also changing DNS with no results

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames @DrKratos_Luca Italy

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames Already performed a CTRL+SHIFT + R to bypass cache, same result.

And BTW, it's the same also for my ORG mate

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames Now is like this

[Benna @Benatti_D]

@erkulgames the screen below is from a different ip address and different browser that opened your site few months ago. As you can see there's the "Update" message blow. After updating the app, i cannot access anymore from the same IP and the same browser.
