Multiplayer and add-ons connection issue in Russia

[Viviziz]

Greetings!

Can't access multiplayer and add-ons oficcial servers in-game.
That's because in Russia there in a lot of measures taken to separate Russian Inthernet from the whole other world.
We usually use VPN or PROXY, but these things seems to not work for Wesnoth (and i'm so unhappy about it).

Could you please tell me which servers (adresses, maybe?) are used to connect to the multiplayer and add-ons? So I could use these adresses to adjust my proxy.
Or maybe you have other ways out of this grave situation?

Sorry for possible mistakes in grammar, sincerely yours, Polly from Russia (Wesnoth fan from year 2010)

Same issue as this:

At least does anyone know - Wentoth multiplayer servers are on cloudflare? Amazon? Or using its own ip?

Please, if someone knows something, pls tell!

I don't want to try and illegally acknowledge Wesnoth's server ip (and traffic), I just really want to play T_T

Greetings!

I'm in a grave situation... Pls, help me, somebody, I beg you...
I really want to play this awesome campaign again, but having some un-solvable tecnical issues.

Can I download this campaign (and all the add-ons needed for it to run) from somewhere else than game client? Where? T_T

The thing is - the country i'm living in is blocking almost any foreign traffic. Including Wesnoth's (WHAT FOR, UHH?)
Which means I can't download any add-ons in game. Can't just connect to the add-ons server. Like no way this could happen. And no multiplayer too.

Like, I'm really frustrated about this situation, and pray heavens someone could give me some other place I can download and enjoy this masterpiece (last time I played was 5 years ago, so I know there were a lot of new bizzare things added)

[Viviziz]

Okay, so, i tried to install everything from /add-ons.wesnoth.org/1.18/

But the game can't see anything present T_T tried some other random add-ons - same issue. Beg your help, oh mighty inhabitants of this forum
Yes, of course i tried restarting the game and f5...

https://wiki.wesnoth.org/EditingWesnoth ... _directory addons need to be in correct place.

But... they already are? It's just a STEAM version. Can't find anything in the given folder.

It seems like there is no other Wesnoth files in the system besides STEAM folder?...

WELL WELL WELL LOOK AT THAT

This @#$$#Q OneDrive just decided to move some of my files somewher else. That was the reason I couldn't find anything. Had to give some smacks to this [censored].

If someone else would suffer this situation, please note, that ONEDRIVE could be the issue, I believe it's common these days, because Microsoft agressively pushes this thing forward (it doesn't ask sh#t before doing it's dirty deed without user's accept)

EVERYTHING WORKS NOW! (exeps this situation about multiplayer)

As far as I know, Wesnoth servers are hosted at Hetzner, and it seems to be blocked in Russia (problems have occasionally occurred before, but drastically increased last month or so). Use proxy, that should work

Thanx!
But i've already tried proxy, it didn't work because of the new complex blocking measures... Long story short - they REALLY working their arses off to block any "default" proxy packets, so now ypu can't just "use proxy". So one must specify ip's or something like that before trying to break through the blocks, changing strategics.

At least I have the name now, so I could try and track some connection (sniff some traffic) when I try to join to the multiplayer. In theory this will help me adjust my proxy to be able to play. But I still need to do some research and do some experiments, though. It would be much easier if someone could just give me all ip's, but I understand that's not happening.

If I will find the solution, I will post it there, in case some russian players would like to play multiplayer too.

MP connection starts with port 15000, then gets response back with port number based on game version.

Strange, at least from what I know people use the same measures they use for other sites that don't work and it works for them

Thanx a lot! Tomorrow I will have time to try and connect to the multiplayer! I will keep updating about my results, just in case somebody could have some use of that.

Long story short - a lot of old ways to bypass this @#$@ are not working rn. There are some ways to regain acces for most "popular" blocked resouses, because bypass developers are trying to "unlock" these given resourses. But sometimes their efforts are not enough to have "one-click proxy" solution for the not-so-popular resourses (wich is the case for Wesnoth multiplayer, for my grave sadness)

Found a post, which describes this current situation a little.

Spoiler:

Блокировки становятся умнее и теперь нацелены не только на "что" передается, но и на "как" и "сколько". Стандартные методы обхода, эффективные против сигнатурного анализа, могут оказаться бессильны.

В России, особенно на мобильных сетях, начал применяться новый хитрый метод блокировки (https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/490), нацеленный на шифрованные соединения с зарубежными серверами. Он работает не по сигнатурам, а по объему полученных данных, что делает многие старые методы обхода бесполезными.

Блокировка срабатывает, если одновременно выполняются три условия:
Протокол: Вы используете HTTPS (TLS 1.2/1.3) или протокол, который его имитирует (например, VLESS/Reality).
IP-адрес сервера: Он подозрительный, то есть находится за пределами РФ и принадлежит популярным зарубежным дата-центрам (Hetzner, Digital Ocean, OVH и т.д.).
Главный триггер: Объем данных, полученных от сервера к клиенту в рамках одной TCP-сессии, превышает небольшой лимит (примерно 15-20 КБ).

Соединение не сбрасывается RST-пакетом, а просто замораживается. Пакеты от сервера перестают доходить до клиента. С точки зрения вашего приложения (браузера или VPN-клиента), сервер просто перестал отвечать, и соединение отваливается по тайм-ауту. Это более скрытый и неприятный способ блокировки.

Не имеет значения, настоящий это HTTPS-трафик или маскировка.
Обычное разделение пакетов (split) внутри одной сессии здесь не поможет, так как ТСПУ считает общий объем трафика во всей сессии.
