Can only log in with VPN

[Lord Derryth]

For two days now, I get "Requesting Region Capabilities" when loading and it's stuck that way.  When I turn on my VPN, I am able to log in just fine.  What does this mean?

[bigmoe Whitfield]

it means something on your normal router/cable/isp provided equipment is being blocked.  the vpn is getting around that block with tunneling.

Depends on how your internet connection is set up, but it's fairly common for a domestic-line IP address to change if it's been disconnected for a while. So if your problem started after a disconnection, you may be able to fix it by turning off your modem before you go to bed, and reconnecting in the morning.

Don't do this more than once. Repeated disconnections can make the ISP think they need to reduce your connection speed.

There are other ways that somebody else could have been making a fool of themselves on the same visible IP address, but this is one you have a chance to deal with.
