Blue Protocol was released in Japan on June 14, but the global release is slated for 2024. That's a long and painful wait for gamers who desperately want to play this free online RPG.
Fortunately, it is possible to play Blue Protocol before its global release with a VPN.
How to play Blue Protocol before its global release
What we need to be very clear on is that playing Blue Protocol outside of Japan is currently against the game's Terms of Service(opens in a new tab), so we're not actually recommending that you access the game early with a VPN. We're simply showing you how.
For those willing to take the gamble, you can access Blue Protocol before its global release by hiding your real IP address and connecting to a secure server in Japan. The process is actually really straightforward with a gaming-friendly VPN:
Sign up to a VPN
Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)
Open up the app and connect to a server in Japan

The best VPNs for this task are not free, but most do offer generous money-back guarantees. By using these guarantees, you can download and play Blue Protocol without fully committing with your cash. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it gives you an opportunity to to explore the game, join the community, and get a taste of what's to come.
