Restricted network: in Paradox Launcher

[henryhenry]

2.7.2 [60bf]
I meet another 60bf in Paradox Launcher (not Steam) I have a warning 'Restricted network' but he has not.
We are in two multiplayer branches.
Help for connection.

Almost certainly you have a local firewall that is restricting the game. In Windows Defender stellaris.exe must be allowed through both Public and Private networks there.

I have read https://support.paradoxplaza.com/hc/en-us/articles/115007925347-Firewall-Connectivity-Issues yesterday.

Unfortunately no use, I just closed the firewall and restarted it but still be restricted.

I just screenshoot it, can you see what is this branch?

Your game version and checksum are correct.

In the Windows search box enter Firewall, select Firewall and Network Protection. You'll see Domain, Public and Private there. Click on "Allow an app through the firewall" there. Scroll down until you see Stellaris and stellaris.exe in there, make sure both have ticks in the PRivate and Public columns.

this one

then close it

anyway... would you like to give a one-one help?

Then I guess you have some other firewall in use, either in Windows or in your internet router/modem. It's even possibly in your ISP.

Try this: in the Steam Betas tab for this game, opt into the "stellaris_beta" version that. That uses Paradox MP services instead of Steam's, so different ports. If you don't get this error then there is still a firewall blocking the Steam ports!

Note that when using that beta you connect to a different MP "universe", not the Steam one - you can only play with others that have done the same. If your friend does that too you can play together that way.

yeah, I'm not a steam user, I use Paradox Launcher 1.0-beta 53, that is already Paradox MP service.

Besides, what is MP?

My phone use Canada Fido, my wifi use Canada SHAW. However, My phone use a hotspot to share internet to computer (not use SHAW but use Fido I think) And it still restricted. I think I already changed modem and ISP.

Do you know a way to test the internet block, or give a one-one?

 

[AndrewT]

I see, that is unexpected. I'm frankly not sure what your problem could be caused by then.

Do you have any other machine in that network you can try this on?

And can you try from a different location?

For devices I tested another PC, it is from same PC company but I bought them in two countries.

For locations, I can not give a inter-city test now. According to my memory, it doesn't help.

So my guess is I set sth unintentionally, if there are not many Canada users restricted.

If another machine in the same location has the same problem, and both machines have the problem connecting via two separate internet connections/ISPs ... that doesn't leave much! Basically either both machines have the same problem or both ISPs do ...
