Sept 8th-12th 2019 - WoW connection issues / WOW51900328

Internet Connection: Tethered PDANet+
ISP: Verizon
PROTONVPN worked
Classic
I also tried the netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=128 trick and it did not work.

This is with a fresh windows 10 updated install, A fresh updated Battlenet install, and a fresh updated WOW Classic install.

Been getting “WOW51900328” on realm selection, since Sunday evening.

Internet Connection: Broadband
ISP: Comcast
No current VPN setup on my machine, and I should not have to connect to a VPN to play a paid game. I get why that’s a potential resolution, but that’s an incredibly silly expectation.
Classic/Retail both affected.

I believe I’ve figured out what is causing an issue for many of us.

Firstly, note that: setting my TTY to 128 solved my issue. So I did some more checking to see why going from 64 to 128 could possible make a difference. If 128 doesn’t work for you please try a larger number - you can go as high as 255.

It turns out that in order to connect to game, the client is trying to connect to a blizzard server located in RIPE territory / Asia. They probably made some temporary changes to work around the DDOS issues?

I believe that raising the TTY works because for whatever reason, there are too many hops between SOME of us and THAT server of theirs.

Does a VPN fix the issue for you, if so, which one? : No. Tried Newshosting VPN, multiple servers. East, Central, and West US, Toronto and Hong Kong
Is this affecting both Live and Classic connections? : Classic, haven’t tested live.

Funny you mention it, because I am using Linux.

EDIT: Just tested on my Windows 10 partition, no problem at all.
EDIT2: Can confirm, changing my TTL from 64 to 128 resolved my issue on Linux.

I think you guys broke PDANET+

Great…(flips over desk)

Yes, PhotonVPN. A VPN on the computer (not my phone) fixes this issue
Yes, both are affected

Anyone know a replacement for PDANET? I have been using that software for a long long time…

Tethered with Easytether Pro
AT&T
i dont use a vpn
live and classic are affected.

Using the built in Tether on my phone wired or HotSpot i can get in no issue. obviously that is okay but very limited on the hotspot

Thanks for this. I didn’t even think to check my untangle box till I saw your post. Setting ttl=128 fixed it for me.

VPN does fix it (tunnel bear, have to set out of US)
