  • Pendragon used to maintain Dota, when he passed it over to IceFrog he (for some reason) kept control over the Dota website (you used to have to go to the website and download the Dota map everytime it updated), so it was pretty important, as well as the forum community.

    When Pendragon decided to start Riot and LoL, instead of just giving the website to IceFrog he took the site offline and replaced it with a redirect advert for LoL.

    The forums were also taken offline where he went into the data and stole a whole bunch of hero designs that were suggested and under discussion.

    Overall a dick move, and what a way to introduce your new company and game to millions of people.

    Even though I don’t play Dota anymore, I’m very pleased that both Riot and Blizzard failed to seize the copyrights to Dota from Valve.



  • Thank you, I will try there, I was trying to install PiVPN since I can connect to the Gogs server on my local network, if I could just get a VPN server running it should work, but of course more issues with that. The cause could well be some config I might have changed and forgotten about, reimaging and starting fresh might be the easiest solution.

    Though, I did just upgrade to FTTP - which added a modem or some kind of device between my router and the internet, so maybe there could be some extra config surrounding that I’m just not aware of
