Today I tried to find out which external servers the PS5 connects to for the online game Battlefield 6.
A program for monitoring network traffic (an analogue of Wireshark / network sniffer) was installed on the computer. The console itself was connected via Wi-Fi, which was distributed from the computer.
The goal: to intercept packets from PS5 to see the IP addresses of the external servers it is trying to connect to.
During the program, I recorded several external IP addresses to which PS5 tried to connect:
- For example:
18.96.53.73,
13.42.14.22,
104.69.222.203,
54.197.155.195 and more….
Some addresses responded correctly, packets came without errors.
- Other addresses did not respond, and the program recorded timeout ((checked through the command line)).
- I found out that the reason for the lack of response is not in PS5, but in blocking or filtering traffic on the side of the Internet provider.
Here is a list of specific external IP addresses that I recorded today and that did not respond when trying to connect PS5:
- 104.69.222.203
- 54.197.155.195
These addresses tried to get packages from PS5, but timeout was recorded in the logs - no answers came.
At the same time, other addresses, such as 13.42.14.22, answered correctly (TCP/UDP connection was established without problems).
It was on these three IPs that I came to the conclusion that the connection is blocked or filtered on the provider's side.

Same stuff here. Seems like Amazon blocked some clusters of IPs from eastern Europe. It is funny enough that on my inet provider some ppl can play with no problems and some don`t( Like me.
