Game Server Proximity Connection
This feature could enhance the gaming experience for VPN users. Upon initiating a gaming session, the VPN would identify the location of the game server to which the user is connected. The VPN would then select and connect to its own server that is geographically closest, or lowest ping to the game server. This process ensures optimal latency and performance by minimizing the distance data has to travel between the VPN server and the game server, potentially providing a better gaming experience.
Functionality:
1. Initial Connection: When a user starts a game, the VPN detects the connection to the game server.
2. Server Analysis: The VPN identifies the physical location of the game server.
3. Optimal Server Selection: The VPN then scans its network to find the server closest to the game server’s location.
4. Seamless Re-routing: The VPN automatically switches the user’s connection to this optimally located server.
This approach could improve gaming performance for VPN users, particularly in multiplayer online games where latency is a critical factor.
