The danish ISP TDC has blocked this game, due to risc for virus attacks.
Unless you get this block lifted, me and a lot of other danish players wont be able to play this game anymore.

I have the same problem as Rungar

hmm... is there something you, the people behind lordswm, can do about this?
i know 5-6 people who can't get online because of this :( |
Me and a friend of mine is also blocked. :(
Anyone know why TDC desided to block lordswm.com ? |
what can you do against a stupid provider? how could you explain them that a risk for virus attack from a flash based game site is equal to a nuclear attack from uniceff? especially when it's users are not allowed to upload anything but .jpg files...
some people are just born stupid, you can't do anything about it... :/ |
TDC is the biggest ISP in denmark, this will have a huge impact on danish players unless the problems is resolved.
I have searched their website www.tdc.dk but without any useable results. |
| you can hardly blame a whole ISP for blocking a single site. this is most probably a deed of a paranoic employee who is blocking hundreds of sites per day. why don't you contact this provider through their website/e-mail and inform them about their mistake? |
georgia> I know that both Rungar and Embla1 has called TDC.
And they said that lordswm.com should contact them if they wanted the ban to be liftet, as i have understod it... |
| well, this makes things quite different. it means that they are actually aware of what they are doing... it doesn't make it less preposterous, but it seems they believe themselves about this absurdity... i don't know, you should maybe directly contact an administrator, as this is surely an important issue and none of us (players/mods) can help you with. |
| I also have experienced problems with this. I hope it gets fixed. |
| I've had had the same problems. But its working when I'm at home, as now - it did not work when I was at my mothers house |
TDC is still blocking www.lordswm.com, and I'm still not aware for what reason.
I have however found a work-around. Use a proxy to connect to the game.
Im no expert in proxys, this was actually my fist time I tried to set up a proxy, but with a little googling and reading I manage to make it work.
Here is a links I used: (Require that you are using Firefox browser)
http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/
Once it's installed, and found a public proxy server and created a profile only applying for www.lordswm.com, so now I can play again (A bit slower than before, but still acceptable)
My proxy settings:
Host: 81-234-92-176-no91.tbcn.telia.com
Port: 3128
Whitelist filter: *lordswm.com* |
How much slower is this proxy?
because embla1 says that the proxy she has used was so slow she couldn't hunt.. |
Admins of Lordswm!
Please write to the major danish ISP: TDC and get this situation fixed!
I have big problems playing now as I have TDC connection at home and hence can't load the pages from there. Proxy alterings doesn't work for me!
I write this message from work (different ISP) which is the only place I can login, but where I have no time for play! :(
If this is not fixed soon I won't continue this otherwise great game... |
Another (easier) proxy alternative:
Go to this site
http://xsurfen.nl/
Enter www.lordswm.com, and hit browse.
NOTE. Im not sure if hunting/battle will work, but give it a try. |
@Smaskir, when I find a working proxy nearby, its no problem at all to hunt or do battles.
But I would advice searching for a local proxy to minimize the latancy. |
I have TDC too, now i atleast know why i haven't been able to access lordswm the past weeek :S
I haven't found a working proxy yet, but then again my work blocks alot of outgoing ports, so i have to give it a go when i get home.
But i would like a good reason from TDC for blocking this site... |
| LordLooney>> call them and ask ;) |
Here is a working proxy for danish users:
IP: 89.207.240.235
Port: 3128
As Smaskir pointed out in a private igm, it might give a problem since the admins of LWM could accuse us of milti accounting. Could anyone confirm or dismiss that assumption, preferably an admin, since we all want to play, but none of us want to risk jail time due to suspicion of cheating. |
I too have this problem.. and so does 5-6 of my friends.. and more to come.. the last cupple of days i've been playing at work(shame on me), but 2-3 days ago, that option got lost too. Guess the companys ISP blocked this game too.. and i'm sure that the company's admin didn't block it in the firewall... because i'm the admin in the company.. *LOL*
I'm able to write this though an online proxy.. but would prefer a real solution..
If we can do anything to help.. pls let us know... |
| For Friguscor: What company are you talking about if it's not TDC? |
