VPN for games: where it helps
A tunnel opens blocked games and hides your home address. It does not make ping smaller.
Two real uses, one myth. There are three reasons anyone searches for a VPN for games. Campus or office Wi-Fi refuses to load the game. A lobby full of strangers can see your home IP address. Or an advert said ping would drop. The first two are real and a tunnel solves both. The third is mostly a myth, because a gaming VPN adds one hop, and that adds a few milliseconds unless your normal route is unusually bad. We do not support ban evasion either. The guides below cover each game with its own rules.

Q&A about games
Q.Does a VPN lower ping?
A.Almost never. One more hop means a few more milliseconds. The exception is a provider whose own path to the game server is bad.
Q.Can I get banned for using a VPN?
A.Most games do not forbid it. Some servers block VPN addresses to stop ban evasion, which we do not support.
Q.Will it work on school Wi-Fi?
A.Usually, on your own device. The network sees one encrypted session and not the game.
Q.Does the tunnel carry UDP game traffic?
A.Yes, when the client runs in TUN or VPN mode. Proxy mode alone covers only apps that use the system proxy.
Q.Which location is best for games?
A.The one closest to the game server, or to you if you do not know where the server is.
Q.Can my sibling use the same key?
A.Yes. One key covers five devices at the same time.
