Re: Will using WTFast to improve latency get me banned on Apex Legends?

Hey, as far as I'm aware we don't have a specific official stance on this service, but I don't see there being an issue with it. Many players use VPNs and don't have issues (I hop between my own network and my work VPN constantly), and anti-cheat protections would be focused on cheats rather than efforts taken to optimise their connection.

I've seen players discuss using it here in the past, and as far as I'm aware there haven't been any account actions taken in relation to this.

Hypothetically use of a VPN may lead to an account being blocked if it looked like an account has been compromised, but I can't see that being a factor here.

    Thank you kindly for the prompt response! I will give WTFast a shot and hopefully it reduces my ping. Very glad to hear it will not put my account at risk. 

    Cheers,

    Good idea and thanks for the suggestion, however based on EA's feedback that it was okay to use, I actually tested WTFast last night and unfortunately it made my latency worse, so I've canceled my trial and uninstalled.

    Thanks for the feed back about WTFast, I was looking into as well. Had the same results, guess depends on your internet - good provider don't need VPN although a VPN is more secure from attacks, but at higher latency, I'll pass as you did.
