PIA and Black Desert Japan

Hi guys,
I live in Japan but from the hostel where I live the router blocks the ports needed for BDO Japan… so I subscribed to a VPN service, Private Internet Access, thinking I could access while connecting to a japanese server (from Japan, kinda ridiculous). However, with the VPN on when I launch the game, I can’t click on GAME START from the website… I click, but nothing happens at all!

If I disconnect from the VPN, I am able to run the client, but then I can’t connect to the server…

Anyone else using Private Internet Access as VPN?

Thank you for your help!

Could be IP Blocked.

Basically, you don’t see the hovering banner on the top on the website, and the links for game start and authentication don’t work because the script behind them aren’t available, instead your browser URLs goes to /#

I find premium VPN have this issue, so now I only just softether the game.

Make sure you are connecting to a Japanese server, and not somewhere outside of Japan.

well that’s just great…I can’t use SoftEther because that’s blocked too in my hostel… Apparently they don’t like the software in japan too much

I am connecting to a Japanese server, I also did what’s my ip… But somehow I can’t start the client when I click on START GAME…it is really weird

I just had an Idea…Can I connect to PIA VPN IN japan, and then connect to SoftEther through my vpn?

I’m not sure if it is the same for KR as JP but the plug in doesn’t work on any browser except IE for me. Worth a try.

Well the plugin works from Chrome if I use my normal connection, I just can’t join the realm because the router blocks the ports… for the korean game, is it easy to create an account? Do they ban VPN providers?
