aibonlengket 0 Posted June 18, 2012 since the beginning of this mod, a Thai dayz server is blocking IPs. I asked the admin (arma admin), they said their server are blocking certain ips/country. either that or the server that is hosting not allowing certain country. my question is, are these allowed? since from where i'm at, the only server dayz that have ping lower then 200 are only two. one of them is "Thailand 1" dayz server. I wish i could play on their machine since they are the lowest ping for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Officious (DayZ) 4 Posted June 18, 2012 Some countries block IPs independant of the users. Your connection might not even be getting to their server before being blocked. That said I have no problem with banning IPs specific to a area of the world if it improves performance for "local" players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikizor 4 Posted June 19, 2012 Unless it's a law based restriction I don't believe it is allowed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_erb_bowl@hotmail.com 3 Posted June 19, 2012 If its already set by the datacenter/ISP then there is nothing that can be done.some networks ban countries regardless.I mean look at hulu :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legacy (DayZ) 1091 Posted June 19, 2012 Blocking IP's through a firewall of some sort would have nothing to do with DayZ. Now wouldn't it? It would just be blocking a specific IP/Range from connecting to your dedi/box/server('s). Now if you banned them in-game? Different story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MILLANDSON 3 Posted June 19, 2012 Blocking IP's through a firewall of some sort would have nothing to do with DayZ. Now wouldn't it?

Different story.Would not preventing certain countries joining create a similar system to banning people for talking other languages, which rocket said was not allowed? It allows you to veto certain nationalities from joining your server.Unless it's a law-based restriction, I don't think blocking by IP should be allowed. Restrict it based on latency, sure, but don't just block entire IP ranges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trucksandtrains 2 Posted June 19, 2012 I block by ping only. Discriminating against location or language is a big no no in Rockets eyes and I agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legacy (DayZ) 1091 Posted June 19, 2012 Ahem. Blocking it off of your box not purposely for DayZ I imagine would be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
