blakeyb1 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Hey guys new here just got my netduma router it's great so far. I was just wondering if you guys no any good EU servers what don't spike lag constantly, i'm one of those players who gets hit off a lot cause I play comp and would like a good server to play on, all the UK ones so far i've tried spike quite a lot, any of you guys know any. Not sure this is the right sub-forum but thanks in advance!
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted June 3, 2015 Netduma Staff Posted June 3, 2015 Hi Blakey, welcome to the Netduma forums I would recommend not playing through a VPN for a few reasons. 1) it increases latency, 2) there is lots of jitter like you said, 3) You can't get an open NAT with HMA. I suppose if you really want to play with one then it would be better to play with the one closes to you. And I moved this thread to the correct sub forum
Zennon Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Miss out the Irish server and I use a 316km geo from the Scottish boarder to the south coast uk and that work well for most games Wouldnt hurt to try it for yourself.

What's the server name? It's just i get hit offline 2/5 games on comp and it's annoying.
Zennon Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I just miss Ireland out of my geo-filter and turn off ping assist so not to get it that way
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted June 3, 2015 Netduma Staff Posted June 3, 2015 I just miss Ireland out of my geo-filter and turn off ping assist so not to get it that way I think he's talking about a HMA VPN server
Zennon Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Oh the quote was from my Irish server post , i was under the impression it was about that.
blakeyb1 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 I think he's talking about a HMA VPN server Yeah just a good server to connect to while i'm playing gfin/gbs/wagers so I don't get flooded, can even be german etc aslong as no lag spikes or little spikes.

Well probs the server closest to you use going to be best. I you want a good VPN then HMA is probably not the best. You might be better off searching specifically for a gaming VPN - you should have less latency and jitter with one of those. I'm sure if someone games using the HMA VPN then they will be able to advise on a good server
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 4, 2015 Administrators Posted June 4, 2015 Hi Blakey, We are considering running a VPN server if you're interested in trialling? I honestly don't know of any that have very good latency thats the only reason we're considering doing it. But a google search for different providers should help.
kizvandutch Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 If I move my VPN to a different server in the USA does my ping run off those servers?
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 4, 2015 Administrators Posted June 4, 2015 VPN will nearly in all instances make your ping worse as you take an indirect route to the host.
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted June 4, 2015 Netduma Staff Posted June 4, 2015 If I move my VPN to a different server in the USA does my ping run off those servers? It will be the ping from you to the VPN server then from the VPN server to the game host

Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 5, 2015 Administrators Posted June 5, 2015 Sure will do when I get back from Lunch mate

Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 10, 2015 Administrators Posted June 10, 2015 sure Ashy i'll start a new thread when its ready
DJ* Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 My experience with HMA was similar to yours blakeyb in that there were freezes/lag spikes every several seconds.. in between those spikes the game-play was actually very smooth compared to playing without the VPN enabled. I could not find a server that didn't spike so stopped the HMA service. About to try a different provider to see how it goes. Iain, I would be interested in trialing your VPN once you've developed it. Cheers.

Iain, I would be interested in trialing your VPN once you've developed it. Cheers. I think this may be to do with the fact their free VPN was insanely popular, which theyve since removed. When its been sorted we'll make a thread. For now I'll lock this thread
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 23, 2015 Administrators Posted June 23, 2015 DJ sure, I'll hopefully get that done tail end of this week. It will be a trial
AOrtiz Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I too was trying out HMA it it was impossible to play. I even tried a low server ping server and still no luck.
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 24, 2015 Administrators Posted June 24, 2015 Yeah HMA has pretty bad contention I imagine. If you're not getting attacked often I'd highly recommend not using a VPN though for gaming.
AOrtiz Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 sounds good..I saw a video about the hybrid setting and tried this..still no luck.. I wont use it until I find a better VPN server
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 24, 2015 Administrators Posted June 24, 2015 good idea mate, the exception is more for PC games though Ortiz.
