What is a VPN?

It's a Virtual Private Network.

To put it extremely simply when you connect to EQ without a VPN the information goes from your machine (your IP) to the EQEMU servers. When you use a VPN it's like a computer in the middle, so the information goes from your machine (your IP) to the VPN (vpn IP) and then to the EQEMU servers, so you don't need an ip exemption because you're connecting from a different IP.

mullvad.net is one of the highest rated, no logs at all and only 5euro/month and they let you launch from usa/nl/de/se. Decent bandwidth as well so the speed loss is negligible. (can pay via bitcoin if you want).

Basically buy a sub, download openvpn following mullvad instructions and start EQ and you're set.
