VPN issues

[MoomanFL]

First of all, I want to say "Great Job!". I stopped playing EQ almost 10 years ago and P99 has done a wonderful job of recreating the magic.

The problem I am having is when connecting through my VPN. I can visit any website I want. I have been able to use any program I want.

Any except the Project 1999 website and EQ. When I try to visit the website it just spins for a couple of minutes then stops with nothing. Trying to log into EQ just gets me a wrong username/password message. This happens on multiple computers (both Windows 7 and Ubuntu) and they work fine if not connected through the VPN. If it was just EQ alone I would suspect it was blocked ports, but since it is also the website through the browser I suspect the problem lies elsewhere.

If it helps, I connect through TorGuard and as I said virtually EVERYTHING else works just fine through the VPN connection.

Any help is appreciated.

Wow still sour about the Flawless Victory days Ivah? get over it that was 3 years ago buddy. At least my guild leader didn't get banned for mass RMT which is far worse than boxing XD.

VPN's can be considered a 3rd party program and you can be banned for it, my friend who doesn't box just had his character suspended for 30 days because of using a VPN.

cool my friend's dog's mom's owner's cousin's senator said that he got banned for eating a donut.

What was your friends name?

the donut was named jim.


On topic: They implemented a system that tries to detect VPNs and refuse connection to deter boxing.

I wasn't aware that was a new rule. Every search I have done regarding VPN's on this site had people recommending a VPN to solve various problems, and one huge thread where one person suggested blocking all VPN's and the other users scoffing at them for suggesting it because for some people the only way to access the internet is through a VPN.

Has this changed? If so, when?

He has some sort of program for VPN's have had friends get suspended just for using it because it can look like you are boxing. since a VPN is a third party program that changes your IP address. Upon logging in it says no 3rd party programs are allowed while playing p99, Just warning you.

That would mean anything actively reading your logs while playing would also be illegal, gina for example
