[QUOTE="brambedkar59, post: 952716, member: 61084"] VPN for gaming imo is an oxymoron. I never saw it decreasing latency but only increase. Unless your ISP has really-2 bad routing all it will do is increase the latency, because you are increasing the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hop_(networking)']hops[/URL] for the connection. Few years ago I had issues where my ISP routing was so bad it was causing packet loss, so I had to use VPN but it increased the lag by like 20ms, so pick your poison. Instead of paying for VPN choose better ISP. [/QUOTE]
