Everything you then say then agrees with what I said.

Perfect! At least you can get the shield on in the mean time, and you have demonstrated for yourself that this is the one and only problem you are experiencing at that time. i.e. It's not a Plarium bug or connectivity issue, it's not a cache clearing or app installation issue, and it's not an internet connectivity issue - so chasing them or rebooting your machine or reinstalling the app will not help you, and you don't need to waste your time trying them. Makes the haystack much, much smaller to sleuth out where the needle is.
> This after big loss (> 10 b Gold, many troops and more), because I coun't log in to put on city shield, due to this error! - This was quite frustrating and how Plarium handle this, is not acceptable in my opinion.
I don't disagree. But, it is a free game, and you are able to vote with your feet. I don't disagree that that is not the answer we would all like to see, but it is what it is. (1)

Apologies, seems I missed that.
> As I wrote, before (I used proxy, and this hint was from a user and not from Plarium) I tried all, checked every page I found and did the usual things (they tell you if they have no idea for help). Nothing helped.
Agreed. See (1). If using a proxy solves your issue, the problem does not lie with Plarium, and there is nothing they can do about it and there is nothing for them to fix - the problem lies outside of their control. (*IF* CDNs -don't- charge by bandwidth tiers, and if they do Plarium has purchased a sufficiently high tier.)
> - That I have to use a proxy server for running the game reliable, is new for me.
Yep. I've never encountered a real need for one either. Until now. Like you.
> The proxy solution depends on the server you use. It may slow down your connection a lot. (...)
Agreed. But I have noticed no significant slowdown - KaW isn't particularly net intensive vis a vis the highly graphical first person shooter games. If you are finding significant slowdown, try to find a different proxy server. Different browsers have different apps that can connect to proxy servers for you - perhaps one of them lists a free service that works better for you? Else, consider purchasing a VPN subscription - some will offer corresponding proxy servers you can use. e.g. This browser profile to that server (e.g. U.S.), that browser profile to that server (e.g. U.K.), both from same VPN provider. [e.g. I understand there is some extension called 'Foxy Proxy' for Firefox based browsers. I can't speak to it - I don't use Firefox much any more. Just watch for browser proxy settings that actually change your computer's proxy settings, not just that browser - if that doesn't suit you.]
And if you are on phone, you would need the VPN to connect, as there your are within an app, not a browser, AFAIK.
