Does VPN count as a Third-Party Programs?

As it said in the subject “Policy: Third-Party Programs”

The best way for a player to assess whether a specific third-party program could have any impact on another player or a PvP opponent is to ask:
• “Does this program allow someone to play faster, better, longer, or more accurately than someone who doesn’t use it?”
• “Does this program allow someone to ‘play’ when he/she is not at the computer?”
• “Does this program allow the user to gain undeserved rewards?”

I guess using VPN can help me due with the lagging problem, so I may play faster than someone don’t use it.

I really can’t tell, can someone answer this please?

I do not believe that this would be considered an issue in relation to your account.
