Regarding ingame server lag serious issues

[BlossomRose]

I too would like to know how to set up a VPN to actually get to play.

A vpn stands for Virtual Private Network. You can use those to access the internet as if you were acessing it from somewhere else. (Usually, it's used to acess your network at work (From which you can acess the internet from that point))

you can't really set up a VPN on your own. You'll need a friend with a good connection to set up a VPN for you, then you connect TO it. And you will log in as if you we're wherever he is at.

If all of this sounds like gibberish, i'd recommend against tampering too much with your network settings because you can mess those up pretty quick and have nothing working.

edit : Or use whippet's link.

I understood that perfectly, but most of my friends also play FFXIV and I think it might be risky to have multiple log-ins from the "same location", so I guess it's a no-game.

It's not risky to connect from the same location as any other computer you have in your LAN connecting to your router are all considered on the same location.

I'll second this. Obviously results will vary based on which server you choose but I just managed to do 3 fates with 0 lag spikes(unheard of before) on my first choice.

As far as free VPN goes OpenVPN seems to be working for me, other alternatives are Hamachi and what whippet suggested.

Then you have VPNs that cost money such as Hide my ass but I would not really suggest that.

I have a proxy that I use occasionally on my PC, but try as I might I can't seem to get it to work on my PS3. Probably because of the weird PPPoE authentification my router uses. S-E needs to get on this. It shouldn't be our job to find workarounds to problems created by their servers.
