Gaming [QUESTION] Splatoon 2 IP addresses

[Elveman]

Hi, haven't been here in a while... anyway, I have a problem. Some of you might know that in attempt to block Telegram, Roskomnadzor forces IP addresses of Google/Amazon/etc to be blocked in bulk. Those, in theory, either don't or, at least, shouldn't include Nintendo Switch servers but some ISPs got weird and blocked them as well. The question is, does anyone know the addresses of Nintendo Switch online/Splatoon 2/Mario Kart 8 servers? Or is there any way to know (considering that I use my Android phone as a hotspot)? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, bro. I have the same problem )) I've done some network sniffing and I've found that splatoon 2 uses Amazon cloud, so it would be futile trying to find all ip adresses, there are a lot of them and they are moving.

Anyway, I've found this IP - 54.68.201.173 (which is blocked by RKN). This network is huge - 54.64.0.0 - 54.71.255.255. But anyway I've added it to my VPN routes and Splatoon 2 now ... sorry, STILL DOES NOT WORK... Stay tuned

UPD: Finally, it works (at least once) on my home inet

I've enabled dns logging, some resolved IPs were banned by RKN. But adding their network hasn't help. Then I've googled info about banned Amazon network addresses, added them to my routes and voila! So, there are my routes (for openvpn.conf):

#amazon (splatoon 2)
# g2df33d01-lp1.s.n.srv.nintendo.net
route 54.64.0.0 255.248.0.0
# receive-lp1.er.srv.nintendo.net
route 52.192.0.0 255.224.0.0
route 34.192.0.0 255.192.0.0
# random amazon nets from telegram
route 52.58.0.0 255.254.0.0
route 18.196.0.0 255.254.0.0
route 18.184.0.0 255.254.0.0
route 18.194.0.0 255.254.0.0
route 35.156.0.0 255.252.0.0
route 54.160.0.0 255.240.0.0

try them and post a reply if they helped! Surely with so broad route rules your VPN server will get a lot of your traffic, so be careful and watch for traffic limits!
