    Oh, I just dug through some of the other posts related to this issue.

    It seems like there's a solution to this, and that is to change your DNS servers.

    Here's a YouTube video on how to do that:

    It worked for me, I'm sure it will work for you guys, too.

    Also, I recommend using 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, as they are Cloudflare's DNS servers, and NOT 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 which are Google's.

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that this worked for me perfectly! Thank you so much for your help! I am not the biggest expert to these kinds of things, so just to be clear, will this affect anything on my internet in the future and what did it exactly do? Again, thank you so much.

Now you are running on cloundflare's dns (1.1.1.1) this is a unfiltered DNS meaning that nothing is blocked.

Before you had Stofa's DNS and they will block stuff like piratebay and for some reason also apex/EA servers.

You can also use googles DNS 8.8.8.8

Stofa will change this soon and you can go back to their DNS

Here are some other DNS, if you have kids that uses your computer and need adult content blocked 🙂

Quad9 9.9.9.9: Private and security aware. Blocks access to malicious domains.

OpenDNS 208.67.222.222: Blocks malicious domains and offers the option to block adult content.

Norton DNS 199.85.126.20: Blocks malicious domains and is integrated with their Antivirus.

CleanBrowsing 185.228.168.168: Private and security aware. Blocks access to adult content.

Yandex DNS 77.88.8.7: Blocks malicious domains.

Comodo DNS 8.26.56.26: Blocks malicious domains.

    @genexs 

    Were you able to get back into the game after changing the DNS? This way we can mark it as a solution so others can find it helpful.

      @EA_Blueberry I had the same issue with Google's DNS and a 4G modem, I've solved using Cloudflare's DNS.
