    My friends and I use Aternos occasionally for mods and survival but one friend can never connect. He says that whenever he tries to connect it loads and the message "Disconnected" appears. Just to clarify he cannot connect to any Aternos server but others can. We've tried the DynIP, older versions, we searched the web for a whole hour and a half, and even tried re installing Minecraft. We're planning on installing forge mods to the server as soon as we can resolve the issue.

    That all being said, how do I fix the error of him not being able to join any Aternos server.

    Bumping and reposting this because I'm in a almost identical situation. Lately I'm unable to play on my server with my friend because for some reason I keep getting disconnected. I log on, can play for some seconds and then my ping rises up until I eventually disconnect. My friend lives in the same region as me and has the same internet provider as well, but only I am having issues.

    With laymans knowledge I've used the tracert command to my server IP and the site ipinfo.io to locate the adresses.


    The path goes like this: Home router (<1ms) > home internet converter (<1ms) > Timed out > My country three times, Brazil (32ms) > SPAIN, because my ISP says so (40ms) > Seattle (140ms) > Spain (148ms) > Timed out > Italy (271ms) > Timed out > Seattle again (154ms) and timed out until it ends the test. All those jumps and it doesn't even reach the server in Germany! It's safe to say this is a route problem from my ISP (vivo filha da p*ta). I don't have another option in my area, so I'm stuck with them. What can I do?


    EDIT: Nevermind, asked my friend to do the tracert and he got the same results as me, ending with timed out because it cannot reach the server. Am I doing something wrong? I typed (tracert Servername.aternos.me) and it worked, showing the IP that redirects to Germany so it should be right.

    Edited once, last by Zenurik ().

    That it ends With a timeout is considered normal, becouse Aternos probably have a firewall that stops ICMP packets(wich tracert uses) becouse it can be used for attacks.

    Does Your friend experience similar times? Does his also loop from italy to Seattle? I think the last thing you should see is probably something named DDOS-FILTER.


    It can be Your isp, but its more likely to be something local to you. If you are able, test With Your computer on Your friends internet, if the error persists, its Your computer or Your homenetwork of some sort.

    Yes, that's the last output before going to timeout, so it's a DDoS protection, I see. And yes, his tracert is exactly the same as mine. But he can play fine and I can't, well, sort of, I have tried to go on the server by myself today and apart from an initial lag I was able to play with acceptable ping. Can it be a server overload? We have a few chunk loaders in the world; but then again, doesn't really make sense since only I am having issues.

    It probably is. But, the first time I disconnected from a high ping I was already playing for a while without problems and I "randomly" DC'ed.
