Hello LordDragorian,

This seems to be a internet issue. Let's fix it

1. Turn off your router.

2. Wait 10 seconds.

3. Turn on your router.

4. Try to connect to hypixel again

Feel free to contact me again if my method didn't work.

That's not working and it restarts daily at 1:30 am

Well. You said you are trying to change the DNS without any positive result.

Don't mess with the DNS, i recommend use it to change the GeoLocation = (How to get american netflix)

Run a speedtest and send the result here.

Hello BradBrock1,

VPN means "Virtual Private Network". It hides your primary IPv4 adress. Most people use to it to bypass region or host blocked website, also to hide yourself from illegall website streams. So basically, VPN is to make a more secure private network.

There is many VPN Protocols

- IPSec

- SSL

- PPTP

- L2TP

- L2TPv3

- OpenVPN

Proxy servers isn't that good to break though blocked website. The most common proxy server is "http". They do also need a portnumber, and needs to be configured. That means it takes a lot of work to make a new proxy server. If the server is configured and ported right, you can be anonym and get access to blocked website.

I am from Denmark and i could watch American Netflix using DNS servers. So yes, it's possible and VERY easy.

Oh, yeah.. Why have i not thinking of that.. hahah!
