Hey, I'm having issues with the launcher telling me it can't get config from website and errors out. However when I turn my vpn on it works fine. Is it OK to use a vpn whilst playing?
Using a VPN to play RuneScape isn't against the rules and should be fine; however, I'd like to share the information below:
There are two
potential
issues with using VPNs to play RuneScape:
1) You may be flagged for rule-breaking
IF
you utilize a VPN that's known to be used by rule-breakers. This means that it's highly recommended to do some research on VPNs to ensure that you don't get mislabeled as a rule-breaker. Usually, the free VPNs are the ones that cause an issue, but always make sure before you continue.
2) Your digital record with Jagex may be non-existent. This means that if you EVER have to recover your account -- for whatever reason(s) -- it may be impossible to do so as VPNs do not allow Jagex to create nor maintain a digital record of your account. With that being said, ensure that your account is completely secured -- See
Security tips
-- to avoid the possibility of ever having to try to recover your account.

Other than the above, you should be good to go

I think I've got it sorted now. I logged into my router admin page and disabled some stuff, and it's currently loading fine. Weird thing is on turning them settings back on it's still working (Not complaining lol just weird!) But thanks for your reply!
