DNS Block Disrupts Xbox Operations in Russia

Xbox users in Russia have encountered mass blocks of DNS servers that were previously used to bypass regional restrictions on the gaming platform. Project owners providing such services report access issues.

Main complaints concern the blocking of addresses on port 53. It is through this port that the console sends DNS queries, allowing users to run Xbox services despite geographic bans.

Due to these changes, consoles stopped connecting to servers. Developers and administrators of DNS projects confirm access problems, making it impossible for many device owners to use gaming services.
