Tutorial: Proxy Connection

Introduction

This article will help you save a cookie on your browser that makes DMM think your region is JP, thus you don't need VPN to access the game.

• You can also use this method to play other area-restricted games on DMM.com. This does not work for those on dmm.co.jp however.. even if you change the domain on the code.
• In case you cleared your browser cookies, you need to repeat the process.

Methodology

For those willing to know more about how these region cookies work, the following diagram explains behind the scene processes in your browser and its communication to the game and authentication servers.

FAQ

Is this safe?

• Yes, the process just saves a cookie on your browser to let DMM recognize that your region is on Japan. This is currently being used by most of the "foreign" players in the other DMM game Kantai Collection which requires the same method to play.

Why do I still get area restriction?

• Did you do step 4? "Switch language to Japanese (日本語)"
• Are you doing the console-code on the DMM website?
• Still have a problem? Post a comment on this article so the community can help out.
