Error Communicating with Rocket League servers

[Instynx]

For the last 4 days Rocket League has been opening in a single-player mode, I cannot see the shop, friends list, special event, rocket pass etc. I click 'play online' and instead of the game-modes appearing i see this error ''Error communicating with Rocket League Servers, try again later''.

I have reinstalled the game, reinstalled steam, verified game files, checked port-forwarding, turned off firewall on my pc and in my ISP hub manager. My friend was able to get it running fine on his PC and I had the same problems as above when trying to use his account. All other steam games are running fine.

So, as far as I can tell there is an issue with my connection talking to the Rocket League servers but is beyond my abilities to diagnose, any help appreciated!

Thank you, this was it for me. My Pihole blocked "r3.o.lencrdotorg" for the first time i start RL, then nothing works exept restart and vpv. I whitelist this domain, and it works now fine. Sorry for my bad neglish, and thank you! I never found this one, cause it is only blocked at first time.

I'm glad it worked for you. I use the pi-hole too. I questioned Psyonix why this URL would be associated with their program and how but they simply ignored my question and gave me generic "restart your router" advice even after telling them I solved it. It's very odd. I'm glad it's working but it would nice to know more.

My router was blocking r3.o.lencr(dotorg) and when I unblocked it I connected right away on all affected PCs.

Hello guys and all, please pay attention.

That url is apparently malicious, i do not know how that could happen but i assume you have (had) some malicious extension for browser and it was redirecting there.
I was asking about that to one of Psyonix back in the day (25th March) and they wrote :
"So far I only know that it is related to encryption, but that is about all."

However i was recently alerted that it is apparently malware. I did some research and it looks like trusted article (apart of no guarantee for that tool to remove) - was created March 24th and probably was not so visible in Google search at that time. I recommend to read through :
https://howtoremove.guide/r3-o-lencr-org/
(and other related Google search result March 26th - some report analysis which i do not really understand https://www.joesandbox.com/analysis/376341/0/pdf)

This information is suspect. I would not trust it.
