title: Why can't I access the Modrinth App in Russia? (Почему я не могу использовать приложение Modrinth в России?)

# Почему я не могу использовать приложение Modrinth в России?

К сожалению, некоторые российские операторы связи не позволяют приложению Modrinth связаться с нашими серверами из-за блокировки сервиса защиты от DDoS аттак, что мы используем — Cloudflare. Пользователи этих операторов могут столкнуться с проблемами при запуске приложения Modrinth. Чаще всего, это сообщение «Unable to read launcher tags from any source» при запуске приложения.

Нет. Вас вряд ли поймут в службе поддержки и, скорее всего, ваш оператор не станет исправлять эту проблему.

# Why can't I access the Modrinth App in Russia?

Unfortunately, some of the Russian internet service providers (ISPs) prevent Modrinth app from connecting to its servers due to the ban of Cloudflare, a service that we use to defend against DDoS attacks. Users of those ISPs may experience problems when using Modrinth app. Most often this manifests as the ‘Unable to read launcher tags from any source’ error upon opening the app.

If you experience these problems, try one of the following solutions:

- **Use a VPN service when opening the Modrinth app**. This will allow Modrinth app to connect to its services and download data necessary to launch Minecraft. Due to Russian law, we cannot recommend any specific VPN service that allows bypassing the bans, so you'll have to find one on your own.

- **Use a third-party Minecraft launcher**. If you cannot use a VPN or find it inconvenient, you may try one of the Minecraft launchers that support Modrinth. We recommend you try [Prism Launcher](https://prismlauncher.org) or [ATLauncher](https://atlauncher.com). Unfortunately, we cannot offer you support with these launchers, however [our Discord community](https://discord.modrinth.com) may be able to help you with those. Check out their dedicated support resources as well.

We offer our sincere apologies for the inconvinience and hope for the speedy resolution of this issue.

### But Modrinth opens in my browser!

ISPs in Russia use Deep packet inspection (DPI) in order to implement targetted bans. Because Modrinth is using HTTPS encryption like any other site, it's much harder to analyze such packets, so such systems have to rely on smallest details in their judgment. We suppose that packets from our app may look slightly different than ones coming from browsers, which makes those systems suspicious, and cause them to drop the connection.

No. You will probably be misunderstood by the customer support, and then your ISP may be unwilling to fix this issue.
