Also Linux user here, can’t login (WOW51900328).
This is due to Blizzard blacklisting packets generated by gnutls.
Many Linux programs use gnutls to establish TLS encrypted connections (e.g. HTTPS in web browsers).
Wine also uses gnutls for TLS connections. I only see a few possible solutions:
- A programmer releases patches to modify gnutls to match Windows’ behavior
- Somehow use native Windows dll files for TLS and actually have it work
- Wait for Blizzard to fix this (Pretty worried that they won’t, we need Linux users to be very vocal about this)

Yes Mint user here.
Fully updated.
Down ATM to Blizzard “seems to” have blanket dropped all Linux packets to their DDoS mitigation services.
IPv6 is a possible work around.
Hopefully I can play tonight Q.Q
Just gonna add to the list, Arch Linux user and I can’t connect. I’ll try ipv6 and if it works I’ll update this

On Manjaro, getting the same WOW51900328 error.
IPv6 seemed to have fixed the issue for me, although I know many people cannot use it.

Thank you for this post, IPv6 fixed it for me too. I also use Arch btw.
Another linux user.
WOW51900328
Mint 19.2
Lutris with wine
Can log in on crappy Windows laptop without issue. Can play other battle.net games only issue seems to be WoW
Same issue on POP_os, unable to login for last 5 hours and seems like I wont be able to play today at all.
This is a third time Im unable to play since the start of classic.
Looks like back to EVE for me.
Same here, fully up to date Manjaro.
I have had some limited success. By forcing IPv6 (both in client, and through my network settings) I can log into a US realm. Unfortunately, my characters are on Oceanic, and no such luck there, but I’m still trying other configurations.

I just returned to WoW retail, two accounts BFA. On Linux Mint 19.01 and Codeweaver. WoW connects on my Windows 10 laptop.
One more Linux user reporting in.
Lutris, Arch.
BTW. There is another thread with regards to the same issue:
Was told on that thread that GMs can manually unblock users. However atm it seems like a temp measure as you can get hit by the ban hammer again later

I can’t log in after 12-noon PST.
ubuntu 18.04, lutris with wine 4.9, California ISP, Bigglesworth server
ISP assigns me a valid IPV6 address but that still doesn’t solve the issue.
Yes, I tried for about 3 hours connecting on my linux install, figuring it was just remnants of, or ongoing, attacks and no success…always that same error. I copied over the same exact installation folder over to my windows 10 partition (on the same computer, no network changes), rebooted, and the game launched perfectly.
I think i have bad news , its not first time that Blizzard cannot fix problems about ddos and first choice its “Temporary BAN” for linux users , i just live chat with GM and sadly she point about System Requeriments (how someone with bad skills like this work in a company so big , its like a robot)
Same issue here. Wine/Lutris on Arch Linux 5.2.11
Perhaps there is some way to edit the network headers to a different operating system as a temporary fix?
Slackware Linux
Oceanic - Remulos
I can play on US servers using IPv6, but that doesn’t help me because Blizzard never bothered turning on IPv6 in the Australian data center. Those servers are all IPv4-only. My connection packets just get ignored on IPv4.
I honestly believe that Blizzards hamfisted response to the DDoS situation is worse than the DDoS itself. At least the interruption of service for everyone was fair in that no one could play. I slept 2-3 hours a night a for a week to stay ahead of the pack, now I get to have blizz cut my legs off in the last mile. God only knows how long it will take them to figure out what they did wrong, assuming they care, of course.
In the meantime, windows users get to play and surpass everything I worked for because some obscenely incompetent IT person doesn’t understand packet filtering.
I wish we could get a rollback, but windows sub money is more important than ours. I wanna die rn : (
