A question about proxy server

Here is a question about proxy server. If I connect to the server directly, the ping value will be very high. So, in order to play the game smoothly, I rent a server and build a shadowsocks server and use proxifier to forward the request. But anything is well when I was playing in matching mode, but the speed is really low when I was playing in ranking mode and the lost rate can be up to 20%. Is there anything different between these two modes? or how can I modify the settings to speed up the ranking mode? Thanks a lot.

  • The bottom line is that by directing traffic to the proxy server, you, not the provider, can set the route to the game server. As a rule, I choose several proxies to test for free. I test the route and ping through each of them and then get the best one. So far, shiftproxy.io has shown the best results. Ideally, the best route would be through a peer-to-peer network. These are high-speed networks that providers arrange by agreement for the high-speed traffic exchange of their customers. If there is a peer-to-peer network between the operator and the data center of the game server and you connect to it using a proxy server, you will get the minimum ping of all possible options.

  • Sounds like you're having a bit of a ping problem, huh? When it comes to gaming, every millisecond counts, so I get your frustration.

  • There could be a few reasons for your issue with ranking mode being slower. The game servers might handle the two modes differently, and that can impact your connection.
    If you're still on the hunt for solutions, I've got a suggestion that might help. You could try messing around with your proxy settings, buddy. Sometimes, tweaking those settings can work wonders.
    And hey, just throwing it out there, you might wanna give PyProxy a shot (check it here: http://pyproxy.com/?utm-source=crd&utm-keyword=?s1111). It's not some crazy ad or anything, but it might make your gaming experience smoother when you're using a proxy.
