Tutorial: Connection

Currently, the game is only available to people connecting with Japanese IP address, thus this page guides new users in creating a Japanese proxy connection..

Play without VPN/Proxy
It is possible for non-japanese IP address to evade region restriction to play (not register) the game. Such way is by using the API link embedded in the Kantai Collection page.

How to obtain API link:
 * 1) Open the game as usual (in this guide, using Chrome)
 * 2) Ctrl+Shift+I to inspect element of the page, search for api_token or mainD2.swf
 * 3) * Example: http://125.6.189.7/kcs/mainD2.swf?api_token=xxx&api_starttime=xxx
 * 4) * Note: the API link unique for each server and session.
 * 5) Copy the API link
 * 6) Turn off your proxy/VPN and open the link in your browser.
 * 7) *If it doesn't work, you probably copied the wrong or incomplete API link.

The API link bypasses your login. Be very careful not to let others see your link (eg. when posting screenshots of the game).

or just close VPN connection when youre ingame.
