Tried Proton, does not work for me, ends up disconnecting me anyway...i really can´t uderstand why they don´t keep players able to join and play

Stricter filtering as soon as the good news of a server upgrade is pretty sad. Completely locked out at "connecting" after playing consistently everyday for the past week or two. Whitelisting doesn't submit and VPN gets refused at "authenticating" regardless of server country.

Proton free VPN is working for me, just had to get it to use a Netherlands server. It's an extra 60ms of latency so hopefully there's a solution in the works for those of us whose residential IPs are getting filtered by the DDoS protection.

I had the exact same experience. Hit a couple lag spikes, then finally d/c and when i tried to reconnect its stuck at connecting screen now every single time... can no longer play at all even switching vpn locations. The last week or so it would just take 5-10 log in attempts.

Exactly the same situation as yours...

So are we going to talk about 70% of the players caught in the net and not able to login?

for some reason i keep losing my spot on the whitelist que, weird, and VPN do not work for me so I genuinely have no clue. I've been here since week 2 and server pop was 200-300, I haven't gave up all hope just yet, but man is it at an all time low....

I have tried using Proton VPN (which I've had for years because Expressvpn sux) with multiple locations zero success. I've tried with and without ExitLag. And I'm in the USA if that matters. I've even been on the phone with my ISP support staff. And I'm just completely locked out. . .

For the last few hours, I've been getting stuck at Connecting, Authenticating, or it says Connected but it suggests Realms that it doesn't actually connect to.

What can I do to resolve this? I can see on [https://octowow-status.shunrai.workers.dev/] that the Login and Realm are both online for the last few hours... Any Suggestions?

En algun momento va a funcionar este server de mierda? todos los dias una mentira nueva, nunca jugue algo con tantas excusas

connectinggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Connecting... it keeps getting worse!
