bakes - Friendly request to utilise VPN whilst working remotely

[Bakes]

Hi everyone,

 

As some of you already know,

im from Australia and would naturally have high ping as a result.

I work 3 weeks away from home at a time, in a remote location, connected to a wifi network that is shared between myself and around 1500 other construction workers.

 

i was hoping to get permission from a high level admin to utilise a VPN, to help with my connection/ ping issues.

 

My request is genuine and I will not take advantage of using a VPN, it’s solely for the purpose of game functionality.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Corey (bakes).

Well, that failed.

i just tried to connect using a VPN (that I had just paid $150 AUD for…. And instantly banned from the server 🫠

any advice ?

Your vpn ip needs to be whitelisted. @daredevil can do it, or maybe a leader. Not sure about jaymod tho. @RedBaird maybe can check this? Pm your ip to him.

Hi Rendel, thanks for the heads up. I played around with a couple of different VPNs and so far I can’t find one that’s worth playing with. 
they have great connection one minute, then I get ‘connection interrupted’ the next. The issue will be 99% on my end. It’s ok though, I’ll work it out eventually. I’ll post an update and let daredevil and redbaird know if I end up sticking with the VPN route.
