How do you determine the IP addresses of new servers as they are added?
Since the IP addresses of the servers will change and you may not always be around to update this app, it would be very helpful to be able to determine what the IP's of a given server region are. Applies to US and KR regions only (EU has only one type of server, EU Central): First, you need to go to Options -> Language and Region. Then, select "Pick Game Server on Lobby Creation". Screenshot: + Show Spoiler +This way, when you create a custom game, you will have the following list of servers: + Show Spoiler +Pick server of your interest from that list (e.g. Brazil) and create a game. You could add AI as your opponent. When game is created, run Wireshark (packet sniffer program) and look for UDP traffic. You should see similar exchange of traffic like below: + Show Spoiler +Tip: close as many applications as possible beforehand to reduce noise. Note: above traffic exchange isn't specific to any game server, I'm unable to host a game at the moment. It's just an example how it could look like. Required programs: Wireshark - https://www.wireshark.org/I might create a quick configuration file for next update where people could add IPs manually which will be useful when they change. Any update on this? Apparently today the western server changed his IP range
Edit: Here is the list of ip ranges what I could find so far for the Western Server, maybe there is more than this 37.244.3.144 37.244.3.146 37.244.3.148 37.244.3.151 37.244.3.202 37.244.3.208 37.244.3.211 37.244.3.212 37.244.3.214
Can you check it for yourself and, if its possible, update your sc2blocker software? It is very usefull to use Thanks!

When is block, the server its show with 9999ms in the preferred game server menu. Yesterday, Western in my client was with the normal ping, allowing to me create lobbys even when i was manualy bloking that server

Ah makes sense. This program sounds great to avoid Singapore server which for whatever reason is on NA.
|
It changes again, what could be happening?
|
do we know if a fix is in the works? hate playing with ping :/
|
block vs brazil not working either? aiaiai...
|
through some janky reverse engineering and using previous comments as a guide, I've managed to block Brazil, Singapore, and Australia once again. I can't for the life of me figure out how to block US West though. When I try my entire game wont connect to servers at all and I can't log in.

why do i sometimes get australian server even tho i specified I want us central only? Is that a glitch

Is that a glitch If you're using the program, the program is out of date. Happens to everyone you gotta use Wireshark and manually grab the IPS and create outbound rules in your firewall to block the usp scopes.

nvm, i got put on brazil again. if there is any way to block these (NA) servers please help me out.
|
okay so Brazil seems to be the only server which broke through my block. AUS and SING searches still get cancelled. Very strange.
edit: did the wireshark thing again and got brazil blocked again... might just have to make this a daily thing to scan and block the server ip. sigh.... singapore too slipped through. I guess I will just have a 5 minute chore now for every ladder session. It's worth it to have an enjoyable few hours without lag. The things we have to do... sigh... and other RTS are talking about global matchmaking. makes me want to puke. i am incapable of playing with lag because i get so tilted i cant even move my units without breaking concentration from the delayed response.

What IP did you use to block BR?
|
Forgive me if this is incorrect, I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff, but I used wireshark to look at everything I was connecting to, hosted a game on BR and I located this IP - 18.228.90.183 - When using whatismyip it comes up as BR so I blocked it, and now I'm not connecting to BR anymore.

Singapore being part of NA server has got to be the dumbest thing ever.

I think there are 2 new BR servers, because I got in a game later. Haven't bothered to check a 2nd time

This is Blizzard we're talking about, they mixed russia and EU on their other games where people were A: refusing to speak the server language and B: saying nazi stuff all of the time.

They have servers where people are obligated to speak English and servers where people are obligated to speak Russian. They merged the latter into the former and mixed the matchmaking together (for people on the same team and chat/voice channels) with no provisions for having a common language. The amount of abuse that we got from them as women / lgbt+ people was pretty much off the scale as well.
