Alexey Borisov
Roskomnadzor restricts access to the sites of online rooms and casinos. But the blocking of the 888 poker client by the provider is easy to bypass using a special browser, VPN or room mirror.
How to open 888 poker through the mirror
Now Internet poker is not legalized in Russia, so Roskomnadzor obliges Rostelecom, Megafon, MTS and other providers to block users' access to rooms. The easiest way to get around the restriction is to log into the 888 poker mirror.
“Mirrors” are copies of the official site created by the rooms themselves. They almost completely repeat the design and capabilities of the main portal. As on the official website, poker players download the free 888 poker client in Russian from the mirror and open the browser version of the program. You can also download the 888 poker mobile client here.
No need to look for a mirror of the room site. Just type 888 poker into the search engine, and a valid "clone" official portal will appear in the first lines of the issue. Do not try to search for a working mirror by name: you can get to a third-party resource with a similar name that is not related to the site of the room.
Play at 888poker online with turbo mode
The developers have come up with a turbo mode of browsers for faster loading of website pages and saving traffic. Nice bonus mode - it helps to enter the official 888 poker site, access to which is limited by the provider.
To switch to turbo use "Opera" or "Yandex browser". To enable this mode in "Opera" go to the settings and put a checkmark in front of the following fields:
In the "Yandex browser" go to "Tools" and click on. opposite the point "Turbo".
Login to 888 poker via browser plugins
Sometimes the turbo mode does not help, the official 888 poker site still does not start. Use the plugins that are installed in the browser. To do this, open the site with the extensions of your web browser and type VPN into the search bar. A list of add-ons will appear, hiding the real IP and helping to access any blocked resource.
Choose any utility you like and download it to your browser. After installing the plugin, go to its settings and connect to a server from a European country where online poker is allowed. Suitable UK, Germany, Austria, Sweden, etc.
Bypassing blocking by 888 poker provider through TOR
TOR is a separate browser, so you don't need to understand how to configure your main web browser or install add-ons to run the Eights website. TOP works out of the box, you just need to click on the 888 poker portal.
This browser does not support a flash player, and you will not be able to play the online version of the client through it.
How to unblock the official 888 poker site through a proxy
If you have good internet speed and you only need to log in to 888 poker once to download the client, use a proxy. There are many proxies on the network, but they quickly stop working and greatly reduce the connection speed, so they are only suitable for one-time use.
A proxy is a set of numbers separated by periods and colons. Open your browser settings, go to the section on the Internet connection. In the "Proxy" field, enter the number before the colon, in the "Port" line - the numbers after the colon. In "Mozilla" the window with proxy settings is located along the path: "Additional" → "Network" → "Configure connection parameters ...".
An example of setting up a proxy in "Mozilla"
In other browsers, the proxy is registered in the same way. Use this method of logging into the Eights portal only as a last resort when other methods have not helped. Most of the free proxies are not working, when you enter 888 poker you will see the "Connection not possible" window. It will take a long time to find a working server.
Operator blocked 888 poker client
In rare cases, poker players freely go to the site of the room and download the client without any problems. But the room software is not installed or launched. In this case, the provider blocks client program access to the Internet. The methods of dealing with restriction of access that work in the browser will not help here.
Install a real, non-browser VPN on your computer. Most of the utilities are paid, but through VPN you can run any software that requires Internet access, including client programs.
Sometimes the problem lies not with the provider, but with operating system user. Newer versions of 888 poker client are incompatible with Windows XP and older operating systems.
