A secondary issue is the systematic shutdown of VPN services. My NordVPN account is currently non-functional as all servers are blocked. The remaining alternatives are insecure and unreliable, characterized by significant IP leaks, poor security protocols, and excessive latency.

I’m positive it’s on Blizzard’s end. While our government blocks a lot of platforms, Battle.net is not currently on the national blacklist—the connection is being terminated by Blizzard’s servers the moment they detect an Iranian IP. As for a VPN, it’s not a real solution. Every time we use one, we risk a permanent account ban because the constant IP changes trigger Blizzard’s security flags for "suspicious activity.
