Pso2.jp is up for me (Comcast)

[Chrysheight]

I know one of my friends can't connect without proxy now where as they could before. However I couldn't connect without proxy and now I can.

Anyone else able to connect without needing one now since ddos? Post your ISP as well please.

[Shinamori]

Which area of the US do you live in? Cause, I have crapcast and I can't. On the Easter Coast.

[Chdata]

I'm comcast and can't seem to either.

[Chrysheight]

Usa, east coast, Indiana specifically. (Still considered East Coast most places.)

[LonelyGaruga]

I'm in Oregon and am still unable to connect normally (Comcast).

[reaper527]

can't connect here from either connection i have access to (verizon fios, mass, and comcast business, mass)

[Chrysheight]

Well. My desktop was able to connect last night. Now it's not. My phone has full access to site. But wifi is comcast business, mobile is tmobile. Neither of which are supposed to work. So I don't know.

Make sure you try to connect to pso2.jp/players when testing if you're able to.
Sometimes, pso2.jp will load but you won't be able to go any further.

[Chrysheight]

I did when I posted earlier. But now I can't connect on my desktop. My phone has full access. Idk.

[SuKKrl]

Can't seem to connect anymore when I could before, hoping its temporary.

[Pugas87]

I did when I posted earlier. But now I can't connect on my desktop. My phone has full access. Idk.

Did your browser load a cached version of the website? (Like if you had used your phone that had access as a hotspot and connected your computer). That happened to me once and I about jumped for joy, then I tried to log in and I could not. :/

[Urbancowgurl777]

Nothing appears to have changed for Comcast. Tell us you can actually load and play the game with Comcast and then we'll start talkin'. <.<

[NotRankin]

Not working here either.

[Hitoshura]

Comcast, California, still nothing

[TauAkiou]

General method of confirmation: Post a traceroute to pso2.jp and Ship 2 (gs016.pso2gs.net). Otherwise, I wouldn't believe any of this.

[Hitoshura]

I'm now able to connect to the website normally again! I haven't tried connecting to the game without AWS yet, but I'm hoping this is a good sign for everyone.

[untrustful]

Woah I'm able to connect. Comcast Florida

[Gaylar]

I can connect to pso2.jp/players from southern New Jersey, using Comcast.

The launcher, while it still does take awhile, eventually loads as well. Unsure about actually connecting to the servers though. However, here are my tracert results to Ship 2:

[/spoiler-box]

I assume this means I can connect to it. Hopefully this stays; my AWS free tier expires in June of next year, still a good bit of time, but I'd rather not continually rely on the proxy.

[Zorua]

California Comcast here. I'm free from the proxy!

[Hexxy]

South Florida Crapcast. Just tried it as well and can connect to both the site and game without putty. Wonder how long this'll last.

[Goukezitsu]

Oh yes!!! I can confirm that East Coast Maryland Comcast does work!!

[Xaeris]

Just connected with Comcast, Georgia. It's allliiivveee.

[NotRankin]

Holy crap it worked o_o

[Enforcer MKV]

Positive ID confirmed - it's live, people.

[NotRankin]

I'm able to connect with comcast. California...

[Shinamori]

Just connected with Comcast, Georgia. It's allliiivveee.

*hi-fives*

[un1t27]

this is fucking funny.

[TaigaUC]

Now I can suddenly connect too. I checked earlier when these threads started coming up and it didn't work then. Weird.

[ArcaneTechs]

West Coast, can connect to website and game servers/login without proxy. but i hate to be the one but I'm not getting hopeful that this will last long, it's cool that it works without VPN/Proxy but just dont feel like getting excited yet.

[Shinamori]

Same. I'm just gonna wait it out.

[Poyonche]

To French people : No more problem with Free ISP now

[Stealthcmc1974]

Pennsylvania here. Can connect just fine without Proxy or VPN. ._.b

[Golto]

Thanks for the heads up, I can login with Comcast now too.

[Viper Snake]

Indiana here. My ISP is Frontier, I can connect and play the game again without proxy!

[Magicks]

Toronto, Ontario (Canada) here. ISP is Bell Canada. Can connect to both PSO2.jp and PSO2 client just fine without the proxy.

[Chrysheight]

Indiana here. My ISP is Frontier, I can connect again without proxy!

Another Indiana player! Woo~ Yeah. It's nice to know stuff is working.

[SakoHaruo]

this is fucking funny.

We finally agree with each other. o3o

[TauAkiou]

It looks like the /25 routes in the 210.189.208.0 range that previously were covering the /23 are no longer being broadcasted. In theory, this should allow for general traffic to start routing through the /23 again, which is why we suddenly have operable routes going again.

I don't know if this is temporary, but it is promising. Everyone should try running their traceroutes on 'pso2.jp' and 'gs016.pso2gs.net' if your connection wasn't working previously. Verizon, at the moment, seems to be out, but then again Verizon always seems to be slow to update their routes.

Check it out and report back; this is a very promising development.

[reaper527]

Everyone should try running their traceroutes on 'pso2.jp' and 'gs023.pso2gs.net' if your connection wasn't working previously.

just a reminder that for most people, gs016.pso2gs.net is the server that most people are going to care about (ship 2)

if you are correct about that /25 route no longer being broadcast, that is great news.

I don't see a /25 in sight here.

Sky in the UK still can't get on. _(:3」∠)_

It's an improvement, but not really perfect yet. Verizon (checked through my phone) and Sprint (checked through the looking glass) aren't routable yet, either. It might take a week or two for routing tables to be updated, so I would say a little more patience is necessary.

If things haven't improved within two or three weeks, I think some further investigation might be necessary.

[Fufufu]

I went through all the trouble to set up openvpn on my router, and a few days later this happens. -.-

[EvilMag]

AT&T still nothing.

I guess Sega finally realized their DDOS countermeasures was what's causing the bad lag spikes during EQs.

[The Walrus]

Oh wow it works again. I wonder how long it will last for.

[Enforcer MKV]

I went through all the trouble to set up openvpn on my router, and a few days later this happens. -.-

While Comcast connects normally now, myself and a few people I know are going to continue to connect through a VPN. We have no idea how long this will last; could be a few days, could be a few years. There have been a few instances where things came back up, only to fail to work several days later.

Long story short; I wouldn't dismiss the vpn just yet.

Same here, except I'll use the Proxy still.

If, say, in a few months Comcast still is able to connect just fine, then I'll switch back to a normal connection.

[Urbancowgurl777]

I guess Sega finally realized their DDOS countermeasures was what's causing the bad lag spikes during EQs.

Interesting idea. That would be lulsy.

Houston, TX, Comcast, I can connect to the website and run a full tracert with no problems. <.< Still going to connect to the game through other methods until this fiasco is solid though.

[zerxes]

I Can't connect :C , Latin American ,El Salvador, Claro ISP.

Confirming that TWC is able to connect again; Hawaii resident.

[ieptav]

Able to connect to website and game. Comcast/Vermont

[iridesence]

my friend down the street using a different isp is still unable to connect so, it might be that comcast & TWC have resolved the issue to connect on there end. (might being the key word) either way i can still connect & play using comcast atm.

[Keilyn]

From my own network...

Comcast is working in many areas in Massachusetts. I used the VPN for a while and rather enjoyed it. Even bought a license for proxycap. Thanks to Amazon's service and their ability to change server locations allow me to play a lot of Korean games that are Region-Locked as well.

Now I am getting a lot of reports on Verizon FIOS users not being able to connect.

[Chdata]

tweaker says I can see them again

[brook1yn]

I can connect Comcast New Jersey :)

[Sara-hime]

Cox cable in Connecticut; able to connect!
