Problems with connection (R0) lag

[Fawnlin]

So far about an hour over the VPN and everything has been a dream. Very little in the way of lag. I'll report back again in a few hours.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you connecting to and from with the VPN?

I'm in Virginia with Fios like most here and am sick of tanking with this throttled bandwidth crap.

From what people are saying the servers are in Montreal?? So if I VPN to Montreal I should be good...

I'm in Northern VA with FIOS, connecting to a "US East" VPN host. I have had no problems since tunneling outside of the Verizon network via the VPN client. I have 6 less hops than before.

Here is my tracert from Verizon:
Tracert results (excluding first 2 hops):

And here is my tracert while tunneling through the VPN:

9 29 ms 29 ms 29 ms 184.107.107.176

As you can see, the route shares very few of the same hops, so it's tough to say precisely where the problem might be.

Could you link a site where you got your VPN from? I'd like to give it a try when I get home.

Northern Virginia and Verizon customer, same issues. Lag spikes of up to 20 sec although certain times of the day were better than others. Dungeons and fates are just not possible to complete and even dailies are a pain. Saturday and sunday was smooth as silk and then it started Monday. I have a toon on Japanese server with no issues.

Fawnlin could you give me some information on how you set up your VPN? I bought their VPN but when i turn it on, i am getting even more timeouts than I was without it.

Honestly, I used the default setting for the Windows client. I didn't change anything at all. Still going strong. Sorry man
