Unable Login Past Character Screen Without VPN

[supercalif]

Hello,

I have a strange situation that started happening on Sunday on both my desktop and laptop.

I am able to login to my accounts as per normal in either Blue, Green or Teal but cannot get past the character select screen. If I pick any character in any zone the game freezes and disconnects after about 2-3 minutes (I do not actually get into the game, it freezes at the character select screen). The strange part of this experience is that if I use a VPN I am able to log into the game perfectly fine.

I have not made any changes to the game file in weeks and this happens on both of my computers so I feel it is unlikely that it is due to the game file on my end. I am at the limit of my technical knowledge to troubleshoot this further but given that the VPN works fine I'm not sure if this is something on the p99 side or my ISP?

Thanks for any replies to help on this,
