If we talk about the last one, then recently a game from Blizzard was always throwing up the Version Mismatch error. Upon further investigating the issue via Wireshark, I found out that the game had six servers in total, out of which two were the issue-causing ones (data wasn’t being updated in real-time on those servers). Since the game randomly allocated the servers, so whenever my credentials were being sent to one of those servers, I was getting greeted with the Version Mismatch error. To rectify it, I added the IP address of those two servers to my PC’s blacklist. Hence the game had no choice but to connect to one of the other four working servers which in turn resolved the underlying issue. Well, there could be a plethora of other reasons why you might need to carry out the said task. So without any further delay, let’s check out the steps to block an IP Address using Defender Firewall on your Windows 11 PC.
