So, I play on the Sandstorm Gorge server. I get around 25-30ms for WRTT & 150-250ms for GRTT during the game. Now I don’t like the SG server for its TW gameplay. Too much politics, too many diplomacies, One house Dictatorship, etc. I want to change servers but the least ping server after SG for me is JC, DI, and LA. In these 3 servers, I get around 270ms WRTT. So, I am assuming that I will get a 1000+ms GRTT while playing the game. Can I bring the ping down by using a VPN like Nord or Express?
No vpn will ever decrease ping. You’re sending a signal from your computer to bounce off somewhere else and come back. It’s already at your computer so having to move that data to and from will only ever increase your ping. VPNs exist to mask your location, they are not a tool to increase speed.
The amount of servers your data travels through will be higher. It will raise your ping, not the other way around.
i use vpn, and my ping goes from 250 to 140 to asia from aus
all depends on isp and their routing to server
You’ll get booted from the game. The one time I left my vpn on I was kicked “for suspicious activity” not to mention any vpn will increase your ping.
Try to install vpnHouse, it seems to work fine and I have minimal pings.

VPNs can change the route your signal takes, so it absolutely CAN lower ping.
not true. vpn can use different routing and give much lower ping
source - i have to use vpn because my isp routing is fucked
I’ve never gotten kicked and i just leave my VPN on
