Okay, it seems like the solution was found. I just saw it in the world chat and it works for me like a charm without vpn. You should add the following strings into your hosts file. On Windows it's located here: c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts , I'm sure Linux users know what to do.

Code: Select all

92.114.107.47 hc.octowow.st
185.165.170.59 normal.octowow.st
92.114.107.48 pvp.octowow.st
edit: well, at least it works for normal and hardcore realms lol

Finally get onto one of the servers, HC one, so might as well make a guy to at least play something. Says I'm not connected to the internet. Alright lol

Not computer savvy enough to try this. HC server did end up letting me on so I can feed my addiction but PVE is locked away :(

+1 to the proton vpn solution. I've connected to the Netherlands on the free version and can now log in on the pve server.

I had no trouble playing all night from midnight est us time till about 630-7am. No lag no DC nothing even was in a group for a small time. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Hopefully the ddos losers gave up and went back to waxing their carrots and wishing they had girlfriends.
