          I’m asking because the IP this Minecraft server uses used to belong to a Tor exit (operated by me a while back). It retains permanent bans in a few countries after that.

          Also, please try pinging oldschoolmc.live and visiting it in your browser (should display a landing page)

            I’m able to reach the landing page. I have read the rules over there and I also copy pasted the address from that site just to make sure everything was correct.

            I wouldn’t be surprised if my ISP was pulling some strings though.

            I live in Florida and I have Spectrum as my internet provider.

              As Rick suggested, try using Prism Launcher or MultiMC

              Also, just to confirm, you are using exactly version beta 1.7.3 - right?

              Shouldn’t have any issues in Florida… Restarted the server, try joining again. You’re using the vanilla client, right?

                Also confirm your Minecraft username pls, just in case you made any typos in the whitelist app

                  I tried flushing and renewing my DNS and that didn’t seem to work. I will put my username in the whitelist app, but my username is the same here. Cosmonaut_Collin

                  The server is receiving your connection attempts but rejecting them for some reason… Doesn’t even get into login phase, no idea what’s going on here yet…

                    The ip address yields similar results.

                    I’m loading up multimc now

                    I guess it just wasn’t meant to be. I will try again another time. Otherwise, post some updates on the server so I can get a gander at things going on. It would also be nice as a community project.

                  Try and connect using either MultiMC or Prism Launcher, it works a lot better for historical minecraft versions.

              Does connecting directly to 129.153.223.249:25566 yield any different results?
