24 hours from now I'll be able to play. Maybe, but I think we won't be able to unlock until 21st as it won't be Korean timezone for an unlock. Still, 21st in morning is better then waiting til 23rd midnight. Still, we shall see tomorrow if we can play it that early or we need to wail til a day after in morning.

Does anyone have a step by step guide for how to do this on the ps4? I've already preordered it. I cant seem to figure out how to do it. Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out VPN set up on the psn dns servers and then a timezone change and voila! Choose a free trial vpn provider and you're good to go You managed to do this for the ps4? Without making a new account? Please tell me how (edit: in more detail, for a dummy, I mean) I'm really sorry, I thought it worked, at least I don't think it does. It's supposed to actually according to this guide I've found, or several of them but I cannot make it work. I do think it's possible though. I thought it worked cause of the download date, it says the 21th now and I couldn't remember what it said before, so I think I confused it with the play date. im so sorry for giving you false hope.

That Hong Kong time in my Origin does look alluring. I just hope they don't like to ban people for such tricks too much.

Dear fellow Europeans and other screwed people who dare not face the pain of waiting two more days until the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda... I scoured the internet for an easy to use free VPN client that would allow me to connect to pre-established VPN-servers in countries where the game will be unlocked on the 21st and found the SoftEther VPN Client. The following two webpages detail the process: general process and download link: www.vpngate.net/en/howto_softether.aspxspecific example for Titanfall and Origins: www.pcgamer.com/titanfall-early-unlock-heres-how-to-bypass-the-regional-launch-restrictions/The setup was very easy and straigthforward, I just picked a US VPN, then logged into Origins and was informed that Andromeda does indeed launch March 21st, 2017 5:00 AM CET, which stayed the designated launch date (even after closing Origin and then logging in without VPN) until a PC restart, where it reverted back to the 23rd. Hope this helps! Leaving a link to a vid for ppl who need help with setting stuff up. Have fun playing MEA !

Remember that connecting to unknown VPN might do harm to you! Stealing internet speed, sharing your data? even sending unwanted stuff back to your end? Remember to read first what is VPN and what it actually does. There is already scam youtube videos where people promises you faster internet speed, you need to just connect to this VPN address and you are good to go, reality is that they are stealing your internet speed. Some one could use your IP and go to Silk Road and order drugs and guess who is behind your door next week? Be smart! Remember that there are hardly anyone on this planet that pays for stuff and gives it for free.Good safety tip is that if something sounds too good it most certainly has something sinister in it.
This is why i'm quite mad for OP for not telling this stuff to you, Things to know about VPN- Offering a VPN service is not free - Some companies sell their users’ bandwidth - Some companies collect and sell your internet use data - Some providers modify the web code to show ads - Many VPNs don’t really offer secure connections - VPN services can be used by scammers
VPN GATE IS KNOWN TO COLLECT
Extensive connection logs (three or more months)
- Date and time
- ID, IP address and hostname of destination VPN server
- Type of action (connect or disconnect)
- Raw IP address and hostname of the source VPN client computer
- Type of VPN protocols (SSL-VPN, L2TP, OpenVPN or SSTP)
- VPN client software-name, version and ID (if available)
- Number of packets and bytes during a VPN connection, and debug information of communication errors
I thought it became fairly obvious in my OP that I am not an expert on this, nor did I ever claim to be, so thank you for your insight. So everyone please remember that it would be wise to uphold your VPN connection no longer than is absolutely necessary tomorrow. The Avast VPN 7 day trial is also a good recommendation. I am using Avast Free Antivirus myself. Just be careful that the free trial does not become a paid one if you forget to cancel it. Also a slightly OT reminder to people who have benefited from EA or Origin Access to cancel their monthly subscription as soon as they have finished their trial, so you do not get charged again (if you only got it for ME:A). With that said, HAPPY GAMING TOMORROW!

Don't forget there are countries where using a VPN even for gaming is forbidden and illegal. Just from the Top of my head:
Denmark, Portugal, Norway...
Actually the counties i'm 100% sure this is ok to use a VPN for such practice are: Sweden, France and the US... Please check the laws of your country before you use it.

So if I use a VPN and connect to an Asian country in order to have earlier access to the game and decide to try some Multiplayer games, do I need to remain connected to the VPN during games?
