VPN issues
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. | ||

You shouldn't be using a VPN Rogean, will ban you for 30 days for using one.

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.

I used to travel for a living and can vouch that with hotel internet I could browse the net and could not figure out why I couldn't access FFXIV servers, a VPN solved the problem. I have no idea why but it fixed my issue. I don't see how a VPN would be against server policy, masking your IP address shouldn't be an issue since they could tell you're boxing(on the same machine at least) by your MAC address.
Would love some GM input on this, idk why this hasn't been clarified by now | ||

Never seen anything from an admin to indicate VPNs were against TOS. Two-boxing is, as clearly stated in the rules.
