If you are interested in playing some games that are not available in your region, in Geek Culture we tell you how to bypass these blocks. Learn how to do it in this note!
Although it is not very frequent, some games can be blocked directly by the companies that offer them or by some state or national laws of certain countries that prevent said game from being available. There may also be other reasons such as the title being only available for a region such as Korea, Japan, Russia, Europe, North America, etc. But all is not lost because in Geek Culture we bring you three ways to bypass the blocks to play without restriction some either on mobile devices or on PC.
How to bypass a server lock?
A server lockout is basically when a user is prevented from accessing a server due to their geographical location. Here are some methods you can apply to bypass server crashes in games:
Use a VPN
This program will allow you to avoid the blocks that are related to the location of the user.ary. But What is VPN? VPN means Virtual Private Network or in Spanish virtual private network, which allows a user to connect to a private server which helps protect their data by encrypting it. These virtual servers are available in various parts of the world and when you connect it gives the appearance that you are physically connected in that location. Although in reality it is virtually.
And for those cases where some games have their servers blocked due to the geo-positioning of their users, a VPN can allow them to bypass this inconvenience. An excellent option is VeePN, it has a free trial version available for Android and iOS mobile devices as well as for Windows and macOS. And if you like it, you can choose the plan that best suits your needs.
Use smart DNS
A Smart DNS or D serverNS allows you to change your location information by redirecting it to the DNS server you have chosen to use. In some cases, it will not only allow you to bypass different game servers or web pages blocked by your location, but also increase your browsing speed a bit.
Although unfortunately this tool has greater disadvantages than using a VPN. One of them is, that in case you want to play and said game is only available for Japan you must know the information of a DNS that works there or that the smart dns program you decide to use works for that country as well.
Another disadvantage is that the additional protection that a VPN gives you like encrypting your data and hiding your real IP, with an IP provided by the program you decide to use, a DNS server will not give you. In case you also want, you can change the DNS information that is built into your PC or smartphone.
These are some DNS servers that you can use:
- Verisign: Primary Server: 64.6.64.6 Secondary Server: 64.6.65.6
- Google: Main Server: 8.8.8.8
- Secondary server: 8.8.8.44
- Alternate DNS: Primary Server: 198.101.242.72 Secondary Server: 23.253.163.53
- Quad9: Main server: 9.9. 9.9 Secondary server: 149.112.112.112
- OpenDNS: Primary Server: 208.67.222.222 Secondary Server: 208.67.220.220 CleanBrowsing
- Primary Server: 185.228.168.9 Secondary Server: 185.228.169.9
- Cloudflare: Primary Server: 1.1.1.1 Secondary Server: 1.0.0.1
These options can help you bypass some blocks.

- Choose the Network and Internet option
- Click on Network and Sharing Center
- Do again in Connections and choose priorities Properties
- Here you choose the option of Internet connection version 6 (TCP/IPv6). And proceed to add the information of the DNS servers.
Use a proxy server
There are free or paid proxy servers, you can choose the one that best suits you or pleases you. A proxy server hides your real IP, preventing them from locating the location you are trying to log in from. This option is not 100 percent sure that it will work on certain game servers. In addition, it does not provide you with the security of your data as a VPN can. But in a method that you can apply if you wish.
