Error 2002

[Ghostunit]

I am having the exact same issue and it started 4 days ago.
I have tried every solution listed in all the forums for 2002 errors and nothing works. I can log into EU/Japan servers fine
If you are willing to let me play this game for free, i can divert those funds into WTFast and play your game fine.(Actually with more lag.....)
Please find a solution to this. After all we pay a monthly fee............

It seems most people having the problem share the same ISP. So it isnt on square too fix i think, its our side too call in and try too get eastlink too fix it.

i have checked with my ISP and all ports are open and nothing has changed on their end. Square Enix released a patch and since then
i cannot login to NA servers. It seems weird that i could play fine right up until that patch....

Indeed.

open cmd if you have windows, type

"ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

fill x's with the numbers
NA Data Center 184.107.107.176
JP Data Center 202.67.53.202
EU Data Center 209.130.141.243

example. ping 184.107.107.176

I can connect to JP and EU, but not NA. Since i can connect too 2/3 data centers it means there is something blocking us in-between the connection too NA.
If we cant ping NA, its not them unable too send the signal too us, its something in the middle like ISP blocking. At least this is my theory!

edit : Also too mention when some people with 2002 problem use VPN's they can access NA server after, which is showing the path of the signal with eastlink is causing the problem if a program using a VPN fixes it.
