steam got blocked in indonesia

[cukcuk]

Hello, from Indonesia here. In these recent weeks I've been trying to open the market or even my profile but steam returned an error everytime (Error -21 or something).

The only way I can access steamcommunity is by using a VPN (like I'm doing right now to access reddit).

and i just found out that our national internet guard (kominfo) blocked not just steam like
Amazon.com (e-commerce)
PayPal
Yahoo (search engine)
Bing (search engine)
Steam
Dota
Counter Strike
Epic Games
Battlenet
Origin

hope this blocking doesn't last long
UNBLOCKED HELL YEAH

Ask your government to stop being an oppressive dystopia.

Steam isn't registered yet in govt's Foreign Electronic System Operator (you can check it out here: https://pse.kominfo.go.id/home/pse-asing). It was last night (I think) for digital platforms to register, before eventually getting blocked. Microsoft did it. Google did it. But Steam didn't. Well you know what happen now...

Good job Kominfo... really (sorry for the language) ♥♥♥♥♥♥ moves from you.

I just hope Kominfo undo their doings or atleast Steam clarifying things and actually solves this problem for us all.
I've already buy some games from Steam after all. There will be more uproars if they don't address this problems. I'm so pissed, I write this all... Thank you.

EDIT: For those who want to know how the hell did I get here, even if it's blocked there. I use Google Public DNS. Use it. Unfortunately, my Steam client isn't reaching out (still blocked). So for now I use browser.

Well you can use Cloudflare DNS, because its faster, and its working for me. if still can't. probably try these stuff:

➡ Download APP 1.1.1.1 on https://1.1.1.1/
➡ Install the App
➡ After done installing it, open 1.1.1.1 (It will be called CLoudflare WARP on windows)
➡ Click on settings
➡ Choose the 1.1.1.1 (Not the 1.1.1.1 with WARP)
➡ Wait for a moment till your connection register the DNS
➡ Try to connect to steam or epic games or any other blocked apps/sites

Hopes that helps

sorry, but do you need specific provider for this to work properly? i have tried this solution but it's still blocked when i opened the app. currently i'm using vpn but it's working only on browser.

I tried this with my IndiHome internet provider, it's working tho. Previously, when I just set only DNS (not downloading 1.1.1.1.1 from Cloudflare), it's only working only on browser. It's been a day...

Yeah, screw this ban, hopefully steam can solve this issues soon and for people in indonesia, pls don't use vpn so you don't put your account to risk of ban

Steam is not causing the problem.

I know, our government rn is being a effin nuisance, i just hope valve can find some way out of this and not kneeling to indonesia's policy

It's like trying to give lgbt rights to a country like iran which are mostly filled with muslim lol, don't expect they're going give it away soon

Well, Valve already accommodated the Chinese government but maybe Indonesia isn't a big enough market.

For those who don't know how to do it or require the DNS IPs: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/setup/windows/

Guys, use DNScrypt download here https://www.dnscrypt.org/#dnscrypt-windows, and here's the instruction https://vcgamers.com/news/en/how-to-unblock-steam/

Based on the vcgamers website it has no effect on ping or internet speed, so enjoy

By giving China a regional version of the platform. There was no way for steam to meet their ridiculous terms otherwise.

Not going to happen. No company can circumvent regional laws or that's a great way to be banned completely.

Assuming they have complied with this law and have registered, then it's probably just being held up. That's all they can do.

The only thing that can change this is your government.

quick question tho, can u still buy games using a vpn? will that violate steam TOS or somethin?
