Connectivity unable to reach server

4.5

Your internet is fine, but you cannot connect to one specific website or game server.

Symptoms
  • "Server not found"
  • Connection timed out
  • High packet loss to one IP
Possible Causes
  • Server maintenance
  • Routing issue
  • IP ban

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check "Is It Down"

Use a site like isitdownrightnow.com to see if the server is actually online.

2

Run a Traceroute

Run "tracert [server_ip]" to see where the connection is failing.

3

Try a Proxy/VPN

If the issue is a routing problem with your ISP, a VPN can bypass the broken path.

When to See a Technician

If you can reach everything else, the problem is almost certainly with the remote server or the path to it.
