VPN and reduce latency

[DVH312]

My internet connection has a very high ping when connect to oversea servers (~250ms), though it is very fast with servers in my country. I think it depends on the IPS that I'm using. There are some ISPs in my country that have better oversea connection.

Now I want to play a game which blocks IP from my country. With a VPN, I can log in but it is very lag (around 300ms). Is there any way that I connect to a VPN server located in my country to have low latency, but still get the preferred IP (for example: US, UK) ?

Is it possible to connect to one server and get the IP of another server ? The traffic may look like: my home ----very fast---> server located in my country ---using better ISP than mine (also very fast), the most important----> server located in US -----same country so still fast----> the Internet.

Thank you.

Technically it can be done but figuring out which ISP connect to other ISP and where is a massive undertaking. Once you figure it out you could then try to find VPN services that use these ISP that you can reach quickly using your ISP.

You may find though that nobody offers the service you want or there is some common bottleneck. Ie there is no direct fiber connection between 2 points.

Search for the term lookingglass related to ISP. Some ISP give you the ability to issue limited command on their routers and this is the generic name for a service like that. You can if you work at it figure out how some of the ISP are connected. Many of the smaller ISP do not provide this because they are trying to hide the fact that they just buy all the service from a large ISP and pretty much only provide the end service to the house.

Be aware traffic runs asynchronously in many cases so it will follow one path to the location and take a different path coming back. This is related to peering agreements between ISP and where traffic crosses.

Just pay for better ISP + VPN, problem solved! :lol: My question is like some how VPN companies create their private Internet. Technically they can but it's quite complicated, expensive and depends on the law of many country.

Most VPNs encrypt traffic, which adds to the latency. You'll want to find a VPN that does not do encryption (if possible). And yes, some ISPs have deals with other ISPs in other countries to have a more efficient route path between the two ISPs.

For example the ISP I am with in Australia, has an arrangement with another ISP in Los Angeles, USA. So when I do a traceroute from my computer to a server in LA who is connected to that ISP, the route path has less hops and less latency. If I do the same with a different ISP, there's more latency and more hops in between.

It can be a bit of a pain doing the research but its worth it.
