No. I think you should follow the 3 step process listing earlier.
Be SURE to use a VPN. Not a browser VPN like whats built into the Opera browser. But a VPN client like Private Internet Access.
And any new install or a delete of the DB-1.0 folder will require a complete download and sync of the entire blockchain. This takes a long time so just let it run.
So in short. Setup a VPN, test that it works. Then use the 3 step fix here.
