Power of IT

Nowadays, Online gaming/website might restrict themselves to only a certain countries. Blocking other countries outside the list via IP ban. No use..Power of IT have something call Proxy. Just change the IP and wolaaa,you can login the game or access the website.

In my case, GarenaHoN, restricted to only Malaysia,Singapore,Vietnam and Philippines. When Garena HoN launched, any of us are able to access their website but we cannot download the client* due to ip restriction. Worry not, I just change my ip using proxy n open the download. Before I start downloading, I off the proxy and use my own connection to download.

*= contain a messenger to access the game and the game itself.

Thats the first time I bypass Garena HoN's filter.

Second time, they tried to ban us by updating their messenger and only showing the game icon to the 4 listed countries. Not even proxy helps. But even I am not an IT student, I know that the server somehow need to read "something" and grant access.

So, that time, I thought of this.
1) Old version shows the game icon and new version doesnt.

And learn the fact that..
2)When we update the messenger, we have the option to cancel and refuse to update and login.

*lightbulb's blink* I got their ass kicked again. If I still want to login Garena HoN, I just don't update my messenger. Since the objective is to be able to see the game icon.

Until recently, they tried to stop us again(Oh my...). They did it by stopping the support of the old messenger version. How sad...So what now? Proxy cant work? Old version cant use? How to login? I got my ass kicked back instead?

NO! Again the power of IT, I keep searching internet for information about bypassing any filter and I found it. Thanks to someone who is on the same boat as me and share his/her way to bypass. Due to some reason, I won't tell how we did it this time but yeah, I am still inside Garena HoN playing!

Simple maths, how many times Garena HoN got its ass kicked by me,no..I would say all the bypasser??

Answer: 3 times.

Now..I don't know how they going to try block us again next time. With my very limited IT knowledge, I can't figure out any ways they could counter. So, I will just enjoy for the time being before I start work =)
