Lena Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I think this will be my first time using a VPN https://youtu.be/JDdBvH2_A8E I plan on buying this to avoid PS3 console bans (Jailbreaking) 1) Will this be easy to setup with Netduma? 2) Let's say I get PSN banned with a certain "fake" IP. What next? 3) What are your thoughts on the product? Any other recommendation? Edit: 4) Does turning PC off cancel the VPN on console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 28, 2017 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2017 As long as that VPN supports OpenVPN and you can download the configuration files from them you should be fine to use it with the router. 1 - Depends on if the config works first time, if not post the config you're using and we should be able to help edit it to work. 2 - Choose a different VPN server and shouldn't be banned anymore. 3 - Never heard of the VPN. Don't have a recommended VPN provider other than saying if you're using it for gaming maybe try to find a gaming VPN that has close servers to you to minimise latency. Generally I don't recommend using a VPN for gaming though. 4 - Nope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 29, 2017 Administrators Share Posted October 29, 2017 It works basically like this: Normal: Your house > Game server VPN: Your house > VPN server > Game server You're adding an extra hop in your connection to the game server, this will add latency. The further away the VPN server is the more added latency you'll have. So if you insist on using one it would be best to choose a server closest to your location.

Lena Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 I have a beast and consistent connection. It's always 400+ down and up so as long as the VPN is near my city, I'll be fine, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always 400+ down and up so as long as the VPN is near my city, I'll be fine, right? Bandwidth is irrelevant for gaming, it uses much less than 1mbps. The ping is what is most important. If you have a low base ping, force a local game server and use a local VPN server you should be okay, you may not notice the additional latency too much.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 2, 2017 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2017 You'll need to download their OpenVPN configurations files and input it into the VPN feature. If you have trouble with that post the configs here and we can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
