This is supposedly a program that can help with the latency issues people are having, albeit not something that works for everyone is this even allowed? I am not very computer savvy so it would be nice to get a rep response on it simply because I'd love to try it if it is allowed.
It is not a modification of the game and it's data itself but a modification of the inner workings of your OS and thus it is allowed. BUT it is NOT recommended to do this as it actually does decrease the overall network/internet performance. It is way too technical to list here but yeah, there is a reason why such a "lag" feature exists in the first place The only way to reduce the lag is for SE to use UDP instead of TCP with proper mechanisms to ensure the integrity of the data flow between the client and the server.
