Strange online problem.. can't connect from Australian IP.. using VPN to European IP

[DangerLaef]

I just installed Il2 on a new Windows 10 machine,

... couldn't get online until I mistakenly tried to log on while running a VPN.

Very high ping of course, so hard to stay online.

Any one else had a similar problem or got a fix.

I have tried running with firewall disabled, vwith the same result.



(hyperlobby connects OK, games loads but connection times out)
