Still can't connect after trying everything — Round 5
Hey team,
Still completely unable to connect during this round, even after trying pretty much everything suggested in this thread and others:
Updated realmlist.wtf to play.octowow.st (no quotes, correct syntax)
Flushed DNS (ipconfig /flushdns)
Switched DNS servers to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1)
Rebooted my router
Tried ProtonVPN on multiple locations (Netherlands, Singapore, USA, Mexico, Japan) — none of them worked
Nothing gets me past the connection screen. Just wanted to flag that it's not just a DNS/geo-filtering issue for everyone — some of us are still fully locked out no matter what we try on our end. Hoping this helps narrow down what's still slipping through the filters.
Location: France (if that helps with diagnosing routing/regional issues)
Thanks for all the work on this, appreciate the transparency throughout.
