The message I get from every section of the launcher is "A connection error has occured. Please try again later." The username/password section of the launcher doesn't load, and neither do the news items.

However, from the launcher I :
- can connect to Online Store
- cannot connect to Lodestone, Patch Notes or Play Guide.

I have a EU version of the game, but wasn't sure if I should post to the EU thread because my ISP is Australian (Optus).

This problem only started occurring within the past 30 hours. When I use my VPN (ExpressVPN) routed through LA, California everything loads as normal. I don't generally game with my VPN on, however. When the launcher does load through VPN, I noticed there were some network issues that had been resolved that seem to coincide almost exactly with when my network problems started occurring. Please let me know where I can even start with troubleshooting this problem. To start, I've turned everything off and on again.
