    Anyone use a VPN for gaming?

    Just wondering if any UT players use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and if it has helped them.

    Thanks

    I only know very few use it. But it's not allowed here.

    I was doing some research about latency and this VPN thing popped up. Sounds like I just saved 10 bucks a month! Thanks.

    We're not actively banning VPN users, it's just that a single cheater tends to use lots of VPN's and those ip's (and players that used them) tend to be added to the banlist.
    And when someone capable of bypassing bans keeps annoying us on the servers, we simply take the easy measure of getting rid of known VPN's and proxy's one by one if necessary.

    I don't see how a VPN could possibly help you get a better ping. By definition almost, it's going to increase your ping. Instead of you connecting directly to the server, you're now proxying through another spot, ultimately increasing the "distance" between you and the server
