That's an awesome suggestion, didn't know about this file. However, none of the
IPs on the CM list worked, a few of the CS list worked with ping and even less
of them with tracert. Fortunately, this information provides valuable input to
my ISP, since I can specify exactly which address should've been working from
the start. @Pilger, your description fits our ISP (and the government) very
well. This problem started on february a little while after we asked them to
block some attackers IP, but they say it is unrelated. Thank you all for the
helpful answers!

The list of CMs that SteamCMD will connect to is stored in a vdf file under
config if I recall correctly. You could try removing all blocked addresses from
that list before startup.
The list is overwritten every time you log on though, so you'll need to update
it every time.

Where are you gathering these data about Brazil's government censorship?
Kinda hard to believe that. I think it's much more likely the networks are
being blocked out as "counter-measures" for dos or ddos attacks comming from
other countries, where services are extremely cheaper. So instead of properly
blocking just the attacks, they shut down entire routes of communication.
I really don't think the government here gives a tiny rats ass for what people
are browsing on the internet.

Oh, did not know that. Censorship is not good.

Your ISP isn't the problem, it's the government. Brazil is worse than China in
regards to blocking foreign websites according to recent data. This is why you
don't have any problems visiting .br domains, but have problems going anywhere
else.
There are a few ways to work around the problem:
1) Relocate the server to somewhere outside of Brazil and ensure it's not on a
network blocked by the government.
2) Use a system wide proxy from another country on the game server while
SteamCMD is updating. This may or may not work depending on if the hardware
doing the blocking does packet inspection.
3) Use an encrypted VPN tunnel on the server to a location outside the country.
This could suffer the same problem as the proxy, but it's less likely.

Changing the Provider is a good solution. If they are blocking the whole
traffic, a possible solution is only a workaround, not a real solution.
Forcing the tool to a specific ip address is not good. Valve may change the
IP-Addresses of the masterservers and then you starting to seek the next
working ip.
