Welcome!

The malware seems to be doing a fair bit... after spending a while working out why the 'Background Intelligence Transfer Service' wasn't working out which essentially prevented my computer from looking for updates, I'm updating my windows now... Something was also preventing my windows defender...

Omg sorry haha... I did it right this time! Here's what happened when I tried to log in.

Hopefully I did it right this time xD Sorry for the hassle.

Sorry about that.

The VPN worked fine. I'm using it as I write this post - but I still get the same error from RuneMate

No - Optus Thanks for all your assistance so far.

I did restart after the DNS changes, and I don't have a VPN to test with unfortunately. My ISP is Telstra, I'm connecting from Australia. It's just my home network, and I'm certain there's no network firewalls. I don't know if it helps, but I used my personal hotspot on my phone and it still...

Still not working. I followed the instruction that you linked. I'll attach my DNS settings and what it shows when I try to log on, maybe it will help. If there's any more information I can give to get this working, let me know.

Thanks for your reply. I've updated my JDK and the RuneMate client, and now I'm getting some positive results. It's asking me to update my Java to the 64 bit variant so I'm doing that now. Hopefully it works after this. EDIT: Still doesn't work. Just getting the same error as before. Firewall...

Thanks for your reply. I really want to get this bot working, one of my friends uses it and it looks great. Here is the screenshot. I'm assuming there's something on my computer blocking runemate, but I can't work out what it is. EDIT: My cmd is also giving the same result for any website I ping.

When I enter my credentials in to the client and click 'sign in', I get an instant response saying 'could not connect to the server.' I have disabled my firewall and antivirus, and when I ping Runemate.com in cmd it doesn't pick it up. Any solutions would be much appreciated.
