How to change Route of Packets

[Dragonis1701]

So, I'm trying to connect to a specific gaming server and I get decently high ping because of the route my packets take. The ping scales from 300 to 400 and the route goes from where I live, Sweden, to America, hits a bad router and sky rockets my ping, and then to Singapore. Is there a way I can skip a router on the line, preferrably the one sky-rocketing my ping or if I can do that, can I just skip the America trip and just go straight to Singapore? Are there other ways, if I cannot skip routers on a route, to help ease my ping?

The route taken is determined router by router. The only affordable way to change your route is to use something like a VPN service that has a more likable route.

The path taken is determined by the contract you ISP has with other ISP for service. Then if the site you are going to also has agreements between their ISP and the other ones.

You only hope to fix this is for both you and the end machine to be using larger ISP. In sweden if you can get connection directly with telia they have pretty good international service. This does not fix the problem if the gaming company uses a ISP that does not peer directly with telia though.

How do I setup a VPN to change the route of my packets?

An example of a VPN service would be https://www.wtfast.com/

I have never used it and I know there are others, but it's an example.
