Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Thanks to the Unitymedia Expansion in Bochum I have a Gigabit connection for quite some time now. Unfortunately the previous router had some problems with it. Also the function of the router was not according to what I would like to see for myself. ...

Probably you already read that Message and landed here because of this: This lobby is not joinable. Players in the lobby may have different NAT types than yours, which can limit network features. COD BLACKOUT is another Call of Duty with a “interesting” Network Code. Different than BF the COD Series relies on P2P Matchmaking instead of Dedicated Servers. So because now Everybody is “a Server” this can cause some Trouble if you are behind a more or less restricted Internet Connection. Specially Campus or Company connects share one broadband Line to many users. Unlike normal home users, you have to be more economic with port ranges here. But also some Home Routers use more restrictive types of NAT (Network Adresse Translation). ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I set up my own Freifunk hotspot: a TP-Link CPE210 v1.1, great value and unexpectedly wide range, covering half a three-story house even behind it. It runs as FF-BO-WAT-Bismarckplatz, offering free WiFi at Bismarckplatz. Coverage in Bochum is sparse; no nearby mesh partner yet. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: We already covered mobile internet in Mainland China; here are brief notes for Hong Kong. Biggest difference: unrestricted access to Western sites like Facebook/Twitter. For BYOD, choose the right network: TD-SCDMA vs WCDMA. An SCDMA SIM in a WCDMA phone gives no data. My China Unicom SIM didn’t work; roaming only, no data. Getting a local SIM at HKG airport is easy and same price as in the city. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Being online is essential when traveling. China has UMTS/3G and now 4G, often better coverage in cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Hong Kong than Germany. However, many EU phones use WCDMA, while China’s main provider uses TD-SCDMA, so Western phones may be limited to 2G data on those networks. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: SOPA/PIPA are like Germany’s “Zugangserschwerungsgesetz,” but broader. SOPA targets copyright enforcement with DNS blocks, bans US companies from doing business with blacklisted sites, forces Google/Facebook actions, and can jail violators up to 5 years. In short, it’s censorship of the open internet, misunderstood especially by many 50+ users. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I can’t say if UDP would be better for Aion. Aion uses TCP, which is safer but slower because it confirms each packet; UDP is “fire and forget.” Disabling the Nagle algorithm can lower in-game ping up to 100%, but may reduce LAN transfer speeds. Test it yourself; use /ping to check. ...

Lower UDP/DNS timeouts strongly; keep TCP timeouts higher to avoid drops. ...
