    1. Open task manager (ctrl+shift+escape, or right click on task bar then "Start Task Manager")
    2. Go to the "Performance" tab and click on "Resource Manager"
    3. Go to the "Network" tab, then click on "TCP connections"
    4. Locate your FFXIV game file (can't remember the exact name atm), should be 2, one is client, one is game
    5. Look at the right end of the list, you should see "Latency (ms)", that's your ping

    We tested this out with Battleping rather than WTFast, but found that the reduction in ping that you see in Resource Monitor is because you're now getting a ping response from the local VPN endpoint rather than the game server, making it meaningless. Assuming WTFast works the same way, which it probably does, the reduction is likely to be significantly overrated by this method, and given that FFXIV doesn't report ping itself, it's rather difficult to confirm anything.
