Has anyone successfully connected using the TunnelBear VPN service?
Obviously that is what I am using, and I can reach the domain pso2.jp.
I pick ‘ship 2’ and then it asks me to login. At this point it thinks for a bit and tells me the servers are unreachable.
Perhaps TunnelBear blocks secure connections? See if you can log into other sites while connected to tunnelbear.
If the server statuses are unknown, stop there, you’re not going to connect.
If they appear all green for all ships, you’re good to go.
I have no clue what tunnelbear is but as I’ve been advising constantly, just set up the Amazon dealie, the tutorial on PSO-world is solid, most people are getting set up no problem, it’s free, and it has none of the downsides or pitfalls of a lot of other options.
Plus as a commonly used service by the PSO community, you’ll find a lot more support and help getting set up (particularly in the thread on the forums for the tutorial)
It’s only going to be free for the first month or two, since ProxyCap/Proxifier are both paid softwares after the trial period, and the other free options mentioned doesn’t work on newer OS.
You don’t need ProxyCap or Proxifier to make it work, though. You can set it up as a VPN in Windows, and then connect without using any separate tools. The tools just make it simpler to set up.
If it’s frowned upon the mods can remove this reply but:

I thought the tutorial made it pretty clear that this was the “other options” option.
And afaik vpn doesn’t really give you (easily) the option of per-application forwarding, which proxycap/whatever does.
Yeah. It can be set up so only connections to the PSO2 game servers and website go through the VPN, but the steps are probably a little bit complicated for a beginner. That’s why the tools make it simpler to set up.
Look up setting up a PPTP vpn with split tunneling, then adding routes in windows to sega’s servers. Bit advanced but you can split your net to where only selected ip’s use the VPN and the rest of the internet is going through your regular net.
