Talk:Tutorial: Proxy Connection/@comment-25281911-20141017052853

Don't really know where else to ask this, but abruptly I'm having problems where Kancolle is refusing to allow me to connect via API unless I am currently on my japanese VPN. It started as of an hour ago, and the game simply fails to connect me unless my VPN is active, dropping me to the typical error screen. I've never had this problem before, and upon a bit of testing it's appearing to me that the server keeps refusing my connection when I'm using my usual IP. Attempted to do the region flag cookie workaround, and while that does let me load DMM's site itself (I'm having serious problems loading even that right now, with repeatedly errors and crashes, on my default network), it doesn't let me run the game itself.

On the one hand, I don't think it's my internet connection itself, I've been able to ping the Kancolle servers just fine with no packets lost (~200 ping, pretty normal for US-Japan connections), which leads me to think that I'm being actively rejected from the other end, but I was under the impression that the API system went around that? In any case, I didn't see any notifications of an update or the like, and just a few hours ago the game was working fine on my default connection. I'm going to try a system restart to see if maybe that solves it, but in the meantime, anyone else ever had a problem like this, and know a way to fix it?
