MS Server Problems and VPNs: IMPORTANT

Question, if your ISP wasn’t throttling, why did you need to go to a VPN in the first place? VPN’s are primarily used to bypass ISP restrictions like being able to access certain sites that provide streaming services for example like Netflix, YouTube, or Google etc. Google has servers all over the world but it’s up to the ISP’s to determine what they allow access to. Which is why in places like China you can’t get access without a VPN bypassing the ISP restriction. You’re basically ‘bypassing’ the ISP while at the same time still using it’s data, just not it’s local direct server and controlling where that data is funneled to and from. The worst thing you would have to do and also the best thing you could do is to just call up your ISP and tell them you’re trying to run MSFS and you’re having data connection issues and then perhaps they’ll add it to a master list or look into it. Sounds silly to think that a game such as MSFS would get blocked or even MS servers would be throttled but unless they are aware of it they would think nothing is wrong.
