geared   302 #3 Posted October 11, 2021 Shouldn't help with playing games, would make it worse if anything.  Ideally you want to be hardwired into your router, to give you the best speeds and lowest latency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It can't stop people removing you from a gaming session. Edited October 11, 2021 by Pyrotequila Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ghozer   112 #7 Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) I don't frequent here often anymore, but saw this... as stated above, that's not how VPN's work, not at all.. What OctoVPN CAN do is stop people directly targeting you with DDoS attacks (which is unlikely to happen, and your ISP would generally help prevent against this any way) Also, it won't stop you being kicked/removed/banned from games or servers... And, it won't help protect the game servers you are connected to, that's out of their hands... And how to use it with a console.... https://help.octovpn.com/en/article/how-to-use-octovpn-with-a-console-sharing-connection-87ogf8/ Edited October 11, 2021 by Ghozer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's more likely the servers you are routing to are in different countries and/or unstable connections, or your own connection is unstable so you get packet loss and resulting in a kick for high ping and packet loss... a VPN 'may' help with this, as it will route the traffic differently... I gave you a link from their own website on how to use it with a console, this is your ONLY option, as the console has nowhere/no way to enter a username and password for the VPN, so you cannot "install it on the console" as you originally said, you have to set it up on a computer or other device that allows network sharing, and connect your console VIA that device, this will then route it through the VPN.. There is no way to directly configure it on a console.. Edited October 11, 2021 by Ghozer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You can't connect a laptop to a PS5 and install anything on the PS5. Depending on your router and broadband, connecting over WiFi versus ethernet will likely not make a noticeable different to pings.
