Cannot even remain connected to my own countries data center without VPN. Who hurt you?

Hmm. Actually get better ping to EU then I do to West Coast.

You will not get banned for using a VPN, you are not circumventing region locks.

People are freaking out over everything because some streamers got caught being dumb. Most of this panic is fabricated by trolls.

Aye you will never be banned for using the VPN. Right now several countries require VPN to play due to cross network routing issues between their i-bone and NTT.

I think some of concern is innocent and genuine, the rest is memeing. Happens allllll the time.

I Know, I know. I think my sarcasm to the person I was replying to got lost due to my reply ending up on a new page.

Thank you. I only know that the launcher has a fit if I have the vpn on when attempting to log in after a patch if I forgot to turn it off after downloading it. I am hoping that when you first log in it records your actual ip so it knows who you are and than treats the vpn as just another connection and just ignores it...well sort of. I had a ton of issues with the launcher just spazzing out and telling me my password was wrong but after using the two factor it stopped thankfully.

That's not because of the VPN, that's a security measure because your IP was changing. That's why security token stops it from happening
