Cannot access MQL5.com without a VPN (Affecting Freelance Work)
Has anyone else experienced this issue recently? Are there any known solutions, such as specific DNS settings (like Google or Cloudflare DNS), that might fix this without forcing me to rely on a slow VPN connection?

Yes , website is not opening without proxy , however i am able to ping the domain. I cannot confirm that isp is blocking in that case domain should not reslove and ping should also not work.
The ping is likely the event that triggers the block─throttling down data transfer.
Proton has good free international VPN's.
As a last resort, there is always the Tor browser on the Tor peer-to-peer network. This will be slow.
(If you haven't already, you might want to check into any potential penalty for this sort of thing in advance in your location).
Hello everyone,
For the past 10 days, I have been completely unable to access MQL5.com or log into my account using my normal network connection. The website simply will not load unless I connect through a VPN.
As an active developer in the Freelance section, this is severely affecting my career. Relying on a VPN is causing very slow connection speeds and high latency, which delays my response times to clients and makes it incredibly difficult to track my ongoing freelance projects.
For context, I am currently connecting from Pakistan. I am not sure if this is an issue with my local ISP blocking the site, a regional routing issue, or a firewall block on the MQL5 server side.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you, Sharique
Hello sharique, I am also from Pakistan and the same issue occurred with me. I have been using windscribe as VPN on the browser extension. You don't need to download a VPN for system-wide, just a browser extension will do.
Also, for some weird reason, if you have PTCL as your network provider, than your ISP is blocking connection to MQL5. As I found out that nayatel works fine. Hence, you can download cloudfare warp to change your DNS settings. If you don't want external dependencies, simply change your DNS by following the below steps:
- Click on the Start menu, then click on Control Panel.
- Click on Network and Internet.
- Click on Change Adapter Settings.
- Right click on the Wi-Fi network you are connected to, then click Properties.
- Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (or Version 6 if desired).
- Click Properties.
- Write down any existing DNS server entries for future reference.
- Click Use The Following DNS Server Addresses.
- Replace those addresses with the 1.1.1.1 DNS addresses:
- For IPv4: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
- For IPv6: 2606:4700:4700::1111 and 2606:4700:4700::1001
- Click OK, then Close.
- Restart your browser.
- Free trading apps
- Over 8,000 signals for copying
