<span id="cke_bm_50S" style="display: none;"> </span>This method works for any OS or browser.

: 1) Log into DMM.com
 +
 +
: 2) Switch the language of the site from English to Japanese (日本語) at the top of the site.
 +
 +
: 3) Open the Developer Bar (F12), put these lines into the Console and execute.

: document.cookie = "ckcy=1;expires=Sun, 09 Feb 2019 09:00:09 GMT;domain=osapi.dmm.com;path=/";
 +
: document.cookie = "ckcy=1;expires=Sun, 09 Feb 2019 09:00:09 GMT;domain=203.104.209.7;path=/";

This method works by changing the region flag of your DMM cookie from "[insert country that is not Japan]" to "Japan". The game isn't actively checking your IP address, it only checks the cookie's region flag. Since it's now set to "Japan", you can access the game directly without any VPN. This also allows you to play the game directly on their website.

'''The API link bypasses your login'''. '''''Be very careful not to let others see your link''''' (eg. when posting screenshots of the game) or just close your VPN connection when you are in-game.

==Tip==
 +
To avoid having to clear your browser cache everytime you want to connect to the game, you can use another chrome alike web browser (i.e. [http://coolnovo.com CoolNovo], [http://www.chromium.org/Home Chromium], [http://www.comodo.com/home/browsers-toolbars/browser.php Comodo Dragon], [http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_download.php SRWare Iron], [http://www.rockmelt.com/ RockMelt], etc.).<br />
 +
Use this browser only for KanColle and don't forget to connect to a Japanese proxy before opening it.<br />
 +
Like this, you won't have to wait for the downloading of the game's data everytime you need to connect to the game.
