VPN and gaming

Greetings,

Just a short question: does a VPN service as NordVPN impact connection speed and ping in any way?

Take care out there.

Thank for the answer, Bolton. 😀

Do anyone know how by how much it will affect the ping?

And can you get around that by excluding a gaming console via Hybrid VPN?

I use NordVPN and for me the ping difference is negligible maybe +1ms. All depends on your setup, line, location and the server you connect to. The only downside i see with using nord for gaming etc is you will be on a moderate NAT and occasionally their servers have slight packet loss so you have to change servers. Other than that VPN's for gaming are not as bad as people make out, In some cases it can be better performing then your ISP line.
