'''Currently, there are two options to connect to the game: [[#Cookie Method|cookie method]] (essentially a hack) and [[#VPN or Proxy|VPN/proxy]] (actually using a Japanese IP). Cookie method is recommended, please try using it first.'''
'''Currently, there are two options to connect to the game: [[#Cookie Method|cookie method]] (essentially a hack) and [[#VPN or Proxy|VPN/proxy]] (actually using a Japanese IP). Cookie method is recommended, please try using it first.'''
'''Additionally, since February 26, 2020, KanColle login (or gadget, or login assets) server is blocking all non-Japanese IP addresses directly; thus, extra steps are required to load the game:'''
*On Android [https://github.com/antest1/GotoBrowser GotoBrowser] can be used: a substitute login server will be used if the "alter gadget URL" option is enabled in settings. The substitute server will serve the login assets, allowing a user to log in without needing to access the actual login server. [https://antest1.github.io/GotoBrowser/howto.html Additional] connection options can be used as well. Clearing cache may be required.
*[https://poi.moe/ Poi] [https://github.com/poooi/poi#nightlies nightly versions]<sup>[https://ci.appveyor.com/project/KochiyaOcean/poi/build/artifacts]</sup><sup>[https://dev.azure.com/poooi/poi/_build?definitionId=1]</sup> can use a local cache folder, allowing to serve the [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/367575898313981952/684355679665913881/KanColle.zip login assets] from a local folder, again, bypassing the need to connect to the real login server. The "3rd party cache" folder can be found in common settings, the path to login assets should be <code>3rd party cache folder/KanColle/gadget_html5</code>. Clearing cache in common settings and restarting the viewer may be required.
*Similarly, [https://github.com/Tibowl/KCCacheProxy KCCacheProxy] can be used with browsers and viewers that support proxy connections.
*Finally, a Japanese [[#VPN or Proxy|VPN or proxy]] can be used. Note that it is only required during login (the real login server will be accessed via a Japanese IP address) and can be disabled afterward (game servers do not require a Japanese IP).
*If Japanese VPN or proxy is not used, then the cookie method is still required. The cookie method, together with a non-VPN method listed above, is still recommended.
