AIR sync failed

I’ve seen a few posts regarding this that have gone unresolved for years now apparently.

I had made an EVE account many years ago. Today I thought I’d give it another go. I got as far as opening the AIR tab to complete the tutorial. I get a message saying failed to synchronize.

It’s a brand new account and I don’t have a vpn.

Seems if you get this error there is no fix and you can never complete the tutorial and go on to actually play the game. Just stuck with a pod and can’t do anything.

Is abandoning the tutorial via Escape-Menu also not working? Do you need the tutorial? I never ever played a tutorial in EVE…it simply didn’t exist when i started.
