So I haven't been able to log into the server / use minechat for a while. I've updated to 1.13 on both platforms and have the correct IP but it won't let me log in.

Since moving to university I discovered that my halls have a filter on their network, and some games (such as elite dangerous) are completely blocked for some reason. I was told that this is mostly for subscription games like WoW, but I didn't think that minecraft would be blocked.

It seems that it is. I can't log onto any servers, even with the correct minecraft version. I can't log into any servers using minechat over their WiFi either. I can't even use VPNs/Tor because my halls network blocks all darkweb and VPN traffic (p sure minecraft doesn't work over tor anyway).

So yeah, unless I find a fix I won't be able to log into HomeTown at all while living in these halls. So that means an entire year away from hometown. I'm hoping I'll find a fix but the hope is low.

In other news, uni is going alright and I'm settling in with my new flatmates and etc. I have some weird ass black mould growing in my room and the heating was only switched on today but I swear it's habitable.
