Can't connect to Realm Server

[TJTelyr]

Hello, I just installed and created my user, but I'm having a heck of a time connecting to the realm server or game server IP.

This is where Tracert gets me to:

C:\Users\>tracert login.nostalrius.org

Tracing route to login.nostalrius.org [178.33.122.86]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Any ideas? I've made sure windows firewall isn't blocking either ports in or out as well.

Are you getting any kind of error when you connect/login?

This looks like that Canadian IP that a handful of people were timing out on a few months ago. Here it is again. As I recall a couple of those peope had the same service from a south american country, can't recall which. First call service provider and ask 'em what's up with this particular IP.

Switch to a VPN, will clear up the problem atleast for the time being. Cyberghost was the VPN referenced the last time this came up. It has a free ip in france.
