Using a VPN for ESO (PC - NA)

VPN

Hey everyone, just curious if anyone uses a VPN to help with their server connection, especially if you don’t live near the servers?

I’ve been having some bad ping and lag issues for the past couple of days (I’ve updated all my driver’s, the game is fully updated and it’s not my internet connection) and googled to see if I could find a solution, one being using a VPN to help with the server connections.

If anyone uses a VPN to connect closer to the servers or you even have some advice for me then please help! The game is pretty much unplayable right now and I need my ESO fix!

Thank you!

I’m an Aussie, and use ExitLag. Brings my ping down from 280ish to an average of around 220 (varies on time of day)

Been using it for years. No troubles in setting it up. Always recommend.

VPN can help depending on the reason for your connection issues. If the path from you to the VPN server and then from the VPN server to the game server takes a different path vs direct from you to the game, it could bypass a congested/faulty link that is causing issues.

If the reason for your issues is too close to your location they will both have the same trouble as they are likely to take the same path for that portion.

Thanks! I’m an Aussie as well and usually my pong isn’t too bad (you know the best it can be in Australia lol) just checking, is that an add-on?

I can vouch for Exitlag as well. It’s the best VPN for ESO by far.

No, it’s not an add-on. It’s a seperate program you’ll need to download. It’s also a subscription.
