VPN Gate Client
(Windows-only for now as I haven't had time to try it on Linux and I don't have a Mac <_<)

This is an alternative option to the cookie method, if for whatever reason you can't make that one work. Some general notes before trying this method though:


 * ONLY TURN IT ON WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING THE GAME. Turn it off when you're done, and DO NOT leave it on if there's sensitive data you'll be inputting, like log-in information, or credit card details when buying DMM Points.
 * Seriously. Don't.

Usage
Windows
 * 1) Head over to VPN Gate, an "Academic Experiment Project" by the University of Tsukuba.
 * 2) Download, install and run the client.
 * 3) Double-click VPN Gate Public VPN Relay Servers to bring up a list of possible servers to connect to.
 * 4) Click the region header to sort it by country, then scroll down until you find the ones from Japan.
 * 5) Select the server you want to connect to (a combination of high line speed and low ping is a good start) then click the Connect to the VPN Server button.
 * 6) Another window will popup. Make sure Use TCP Protocol (Ethernet over HTTPS VPN) (Recommended) is selected, and click the Okay button.
 * 7) And that's it. If it doesn't connect on the first try and a window pops up and prompts you if you want to retry connecting, it's faster to just cancel it and pick another server.
 * 8) To disconnect, left-click (or right-click, that works too) the tray icon and select Disconnect All VPN Connections.
