Blockland isn't authenticating.

[Night Fox]

My copy of Blockland hasn't been authenticating with the master server for the past three days.
It opens in offline mode, and doesn't try to authenticate.
I used to just try to change my name, which is how I made it authenticate when I first got this problem, and it worked.
But for the past three days, it hasn't been working, and it just sits there trying to authenticate until I close Blockland.

This is seriously taking too long.
I'm just going to try to re-install it.

offline mode

The game cannot connect to the internet at all.  End of story.  Firewall or security software is blocking it.

[Night Fox]

Well that doesn't make any sense.
Let me see if I can fix that.

[Night Fox]

This is the only firewall//security program we have.

Is there anything else that would block the connection?

[Night Fox]

Still isn't authenticating.

Look at your console.txt, and see if blockland reports what is causing it to be unable to connect to the internet.
