Brawl Stars is a mobile MMO that is currently unavailable in Russia and Belarus. This guide gathers practical methods to work around the block for both curious newcomers who want to learn more and dedicated players who do not want to lose progress.
How to download the game Brawl Stars in Russia and Belarus on Android
An APK file from trusted sources can be downloaded to install the latest version. The new version can be installed over the existing one to save time. To install, simply open the downloaded file with a file explorer, such as the default My Files app.
Another working option is to create a new Google account linked to a different country. This requires a VPN. When using a VPN, pick a single country and avoid switching locations too often to prevent account restrictions. Transferring an account to another country may take some time, and users should wait about 48 hours after registering before attempting location changes. If issues persist, contacting Google support about location changes may help.
Note: Changing location can affect access to virtual purchases for a period of six months.
How to transfer your data to another device
Users should create a Supercell ID and use it to manage progress across devices. This is done inside the game by opening the settings menu and selecting Supercell ID. A separate window lets users restore an existing account or create a new one if needed. This enables moving progress to a different foreign account and keeps purchases and rewards synced.
How to play Brawl Stars in Russia and Belarus
The simplest way to play is by using a VPN. In testing, the game was accessed reliably via Surfshark VPN with servers in Kazakhstan, with no warnings and stable internet performance. Instructions for setting up Surfshark or other VPN services are available in related tutorials, which detail steps and considerations for smooth gameplay.
Bypass restriction without VPN on Android
Without a VPN, it is possible to register a private DNS to bypass the block:
- Open the settings and locate the network section, often labeled Connect and Share or Network and Internet. Use the search to find DNS if needed.
- Select Private DNS.
- Set the DNS mode to manual and enter dns.nullsproxy.com.
This configuration may allow the game to launch, but it might still not be available in official stores.
Bypass restriction without VPN on iOS
On iOS, DNS changes are not made directly in the same way. Users may need a configuration profile found online to create a new device profile with the required settings. The profile can be removed at any time if any suspicious activity is noticed. This approach can enable playing Brawl Stars if it has already been downloaded previously.
Note: At present, downloading the game on iOS through the official App Store is not possible. Access may require third-party sources and carries associated risks.
