Yes, but when connecting via VPN your traffic is 1. encrypted and 2. going out on a standard port such as 443. EQ uses a wider range of ports:
From EQEMU:
5998
5999
7000-7500
7778 (chatserver on this ?)
9000-9001
Most ISP routers block all incoming/outgoing traffic except the widely used ports such as 53, 80, 443, etc. Their firewalls usually default to a "medium" setting that does this. Dropping it to low will still prevent random incoming connections, but will allow your outbound traffic to flow.
Otherwise, set up specific rules in your firewall to allow outbound traffic via these ports. I can't provide specific instructions as it varies per model, so check your ISP or router manufacturer's website.
