Hello,
Ilive in the middle east ...
All servers i used to play games was located in the UK or Ger.... i get 70-90 Stable ping depends on the server..
But in WoW its another story ...
I play @ Silvermoon Server ... Its supposed to be in Europe .. But where in europe ? UK ?
if so .. i get 250-350 ping depends on which daytime i play ....
I tried many things .. but nothing help ... i guess its all about WoW servers ... this server handle more than 16+ or 24+ player as for the other online games ....
Im thinking or basicly im asking ...
is it possible to use VPN/PROXY to play wow ?
i will buy proxy in europe which i will get around 80-100 ping with the proxy .. and then from the proxy to the wow server will be low , the result ---> Low ping for me...
Is it legal or illigal to use proxy/vpn ?
if its legal .. which to use .. ? VPN or Proxy ? and suggest me good and cheap Company to buy from ...
i Would like private vpn/proxy not puplic .. puplic is missy and much laggier...

*Note that i checked WoW server ping , and Other online game server same time ... and the pings appers as i saied ...

Thanks

Hi,

The use of proxys should be done so at your own risk, we have no problems with the use of one however we cannot offer support for their uses either.

If you are getting high latency then please provide us with more information about your connection please.

ISP -
Country -
Modem (and firmware if available) -
Router (and firmware if available)
Network device (Driver version if available)
Type of connection used (Wifi/USB Ethernet) -
Operating System -
Security Software installed (Firewall, Anti-Virus)

Please also post a traceroute to the realm you are playing on. Instructions on how to produce a traceroute can be found here:

Also perform a pathping test to the same IP address to see if your losing any packets along the way.
