:((((

a vpn will only increase your ping silly

Read more on VPNs. They are not designed to reduce your latency, in fact, they will increase it because you will have to hop to a second computer before reaching your destination. Quick question, are you on cable or WiFi?

cable why?

i am pretty silly, thank you for noticing

Stupid question post:

Not OP, but theoretically, the latency could be decreased right?

A to C directly could be 200, but If A to B is 50 and B to C is 50 it would be 100.

YOU CAME TO THE WRONG THREAD BITCH

how do i reduce my latency tho

The thing is, latency is related to physical hops that your packet has to do to traverse the network until reaching its destination. Your comparison is right considering that only B->C are communicating. Using a VPN only adds a new node to the route, that way he would need to send packets to B and then redirect to C. The latency is always increased, because of the newly added proxy between A->C. Just an example, let's say that you are acessing a server at 200ms, you then add a VPN that is geographically near the server that pings the server at 50ms. Now as you are routing your packets through the tunnel, the latency to the destination server will be 250ms

OP, If the game allows, change the destination server to somewhere near where you live. Having to traverse 1/2 a planet to connect to a server will make your latency go up and there is no way to change it. Australia's internet suck because of exactly that.

As you are in Asia, 200-300ms implies that your game is connecting to an American server. The only way to lower your latency is to actually subscribe to an ISP that offers direct backbone connectivity to its clients. It will depend on availability, where you live and how much are you willing to spend.. VPSes in data centers usually have this kind of connectivity, that is why they get close to 0 latency and like 1GB/s down/up speeds

thanks everyone who took the time to share their knowledge regarding this matter and i've come to the conclusion that setting up a VPN is no way a solution to my problem but changing the ISP is the ultimate remedy.
