Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[n_n]

I stopped being lazy and took the time to set up an AWS ec2 instance as a proxy for FFXIV yesterday. I cannot believe I have to do this again to fix a connection issue with a game, but whatever.

Honestly confused why or what they block. From my research they only block ports that spammers abuse.

I’m not really sure myself. I know they don’t like you tampering with their equipment and they have something in their routers that blocks you from putting a VPN on the router itself. And when I tried creating a bridge to use my laptop for a LAN connection to use the VPN on my laptop I couldnt do it but my friend who has a different ISP was able to do it.

Weird. The password to mine is right on the back and I can do whatever I want in it. I run all sorts of in-home servers and even a Plex server too.

Could it be we have different models? I’ve had fiber pretty much since they started rolling it out so maybe my router is older? I don’t know a whole lot about this stuff to be honest and I could have definitely messed up somewhere, but my friend walked me through it and he works in IT so I trust he knows what he’s doing

Well, we're 10 days in now with absolutely no relief. Either the parties involved dont care or they are not competent enough to deal with the problem. RIP
I'm just so happy that we have new content that we can't play!

Honestly, I *never* expected them to fix it before 6.4 dropped. Understandably, their focus was on getting the patch out. Now that the patch is out, no more excuses. This should be next on the "get fixed" list. There's so many people who *can't play your new content* Square....

I have the following one supplied by them. I can even enable IP Passthrough which means the modem just acts as the connection. All data can be passed though to your own personal router if your choice. The modem at that point is pretty much invisible to anything on your network. It's no longer your router, firewall, wifi or anything. Your new router does all that.

Been checking back in with this thread for any news and updates on the lag situation. Nord VPN has been working really well since Cloudflare took a shit and stopped working. Sucks that I had to do this and spend money to play something I am already subbing to but it's like Sweet Tooth said in Twisted Metal Black, "Let's face it boys and girls. A man has to have his priorities." Quality time with my dearest is essential so I gotta do what I gotta do.
