Due to frequent requests for VPN provider recommendations, we’re now creating a monthly megathread for this topic, which you can find at the top of the subreddit menu. This thread is your opportunity to ask for suggestions or share your favorite VPN provider. When recommending a VPN, please include specific reasons why you prefer it—beyond just listing standard features. Explain why it stands out to you. Comments that only mention a provider’s name without details are not allowed. No affiliate links, links to review sites, or direct links to VPN providers’ websites. Also, no promotional behavior. You may also want to look at our regularly updated comparison table to help find a VPN that meets your needs, and check out our pinned special deals thread. Please note that this megathread will be actively moderated.
I have been trying out Exit Lag because they have a good selection of servers and know where most game servers are located and their IP addresses. However, they don’t seem to care anymore because their app has a lot of bugs, your connection times out, which can get you banned from competitive games, and it sometimes throws you from Europe to the USA for no reason. I live in South Africa, and a good VPN can cut your link time to Europe from 240ms to 175ms, which is fast enough for a lot of online games. Are there any VPNs that you always use for gaming?
