My school internet blocks Minecraft, any help?

[rascalb]

Hey,

 

I love playing minecraft in school, and playing online is my preferred gamemode. I have no issues connecting to minecraft.net, but I get the message:

 

Failed to login: The authentication servers are currently down for maintinence.

 

Wondering if anyone could help?

 

The launcher issue code is as follows (sorry if its too long, idk which bit is relevant)

Why don't you study while it is free because after school you can play all the crappy 8bit looking games you like lol

Learn to read... the log says:

The authentication servers are currently down for maintenance.

That means you can't log in until they are done with maintenance.

 

Otherwise you wait til you are done with school and play with that game at home or somewhere else.

If your school is blocking Minecraft, we won't help you circumvent their rules and regulations. Neowin won't allow discussions that circumvent rules or security. If it is simply server maintenance, all is good.

Work before play. Your school is rightfully blocking access:

Agreed, unfortunately if it's being blocked it's for a reason. 

 

Saying that, Halo was blocked in our college, until we found that renaming the exe to NotHalo.exe made it work  so many hours in  the Gulch when we should have been studying!
