Game overlay networks, game onion networks, game VPNs, they’re all words for the same thing. Like mudfish http://mudfish.net

For people playing across the globe, you connect to their servers, and they give you a better global transit to the other side of the planet. For better latency for games.

Do people have recommendations for a game performance network they use? They’ve had good experiences with?

I’ve been playing with mud fish, and it’s okay, I was just hoping people had some other recommendations.

    Sometimes routing can be weird, and a VPN can change that. I’m not sure how they’re ever supposed to do it consistently though. I use express, and have in very rare occasions seen reduced latency while connected vs. not. I’ve never managed to make it happen on purpose, though.

    Edit: I also live within spitting distance of one of the largest server hosting locations in the world, so that may factor into my experience somehow.
