VPN for gaming - does it actually lower ping or just mess with it Once tried a VPN in the middle of a frag session, switched to a nearby server and surprisingly my ping dropped like 10ms. Wasn't expecting that rn but that was a rare case. Usually, VPN just adds more lag.
just my 2 cents: most of those tests are kinda useless rn. I'd recommend using a tool like Ookla or Fast.com, then checking ping and jitter too, not just raw Mbps. That gives a better idea of real-world VPN performance.
If u wanna boost response rate, focus on personalizing ur outreach more. Generic messages kill replies faster than anything. U gotta make it seem like u actually read thier stuff.
Last month i spent ages trying to set up my own Pi VPN and ended up with more headaches than privacy lol. do u guys think it's worth the hassle or just go for a legit provider?
I don't think wireguard is the main cause, it's probably ur phone struggling with old hardware. u might wanna turn off auto-start or kill the app when not needed, that can help save some juice. also check if u have the latest version, sometimes updates improve efficiency.
yep exactly, fingerprinting is sneaky. VPNs just hide IPs but browser/device data still leaks. U gotta keep layering tools if u wanna stay kinda hidden rn.
Bruh, I'm not buyin it. Scaling white hat links at a real clip usually means sacrificing quality or doing some shady shortcuts. U wanna scale legit but u gotta be okay with slow, steady wins.
been doing this 3 years, proxies are all about testing ur setup. cheap proxies might work for a week but then boom banned. always try to rotate and use residentials if u wanna keep ur stuff safe.
Disagree, I think the reality is most AMs aren't really sitting on a stash of exclusives rn. They drop a few here and there but not like they used to. Most of the "exclusives" are just regular offers that got a slight bump in visibility.
bruh, u really think jurisdiction matters that much rn? If a vpn logs ur data, laws ain't gonna save u, no matter where it's based. U wanna dodge five eyes?
last month i had a client wanna pay me in crypto and i was like wtf, lol. My tip: always check payout options with ur network first before gettin hyped about the crypto. Some pay out like trash rn.
i disagree, just doing some quick tests on different devices and networks doesn't cut it either. Wanna get real results, u gotta run long-term tests on the same device, same network, with consistent configs. Otherwise, it's all just noise.
careful with that, not all socks5 are equal and some don't handle UDP well at all. make sure u test the specific proxy if UDP is a must. otherwise, it's just hype.
Just my 2 cents, most folks are just happy if it connects and they get some speed. They don't wanna bother digging into logs or policies. That's where the real risk is, people trust blindly.
