Experiences with Game VPNs? (hackertalks.com)

Game overlay networks, game onion networks, game VPNs, they're all words for the same thing. Like mudfish http://mudfish.net

For people playing across the globe, you connect to their servers, and they give you a better global transit to the other side of the planet. For better latency for games.

Do people have recommendations for a game performance network they use? They've had good experiences with?

I've been playing with mud fish, and it's okay, I was just hoping people had some other recommendations.

Not sure about those game VPN, but VPN in general might be useful if you have a super shitty ISP like mine. I played war thunder a while ago and would often got assigned to a server with over 90% packet loss, which make the game completely unplayable. Turned on the VPN (Mullvad) and the packet loss issue disappear.
