Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: Left click on the Windows Security logo in the system tray (bottom right by default), and then choose "firewall".Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. One of the entries should be "let apps communicate through Windows firewall". In the Port Forwarding section, first, enable both TCP and UDP in the protocol field and put your PCs IP address in the Internal IP field.

Open start menu, start typing "firewall" (you won't need the complete word). If not, you need to click on "change settings" to be able to change them. Search for "Half-Life Launcher" in the list and make sure the boxes are checked. Now set 27015 as port number in all fields ("from", "to" and "extern").Īs for the firewall, in Windows 10 you go to settings, update and security, Windows security, firewall & network protection, then choose "allow access of app through firewall". In the list of applications there's no Half-Life server, so I choose "other" to manually configure it.

new "share / forward" - bit complicated to set up but more secure.įor the latter I can then choose "port forward". "exposed host" - which is relatively insecure, but should always work. How you forward ports from your router to the PC is different for each router.įor example with the router I use, I go to the router's web interface, section "internet", "forwards / sharing", "port forwards" and then can add a device to the "sharing / forwards".
