![]() The lower your latency, the optimizeder the data will be delivered to the game server and the quicker for the data to return to your computer.Ī low latency connection time will have a significant improvement in your gameplay, especially on optimized-paced games like AssaultCube where you need to execute an action quickly. If you lower your latency by 500ms, you'll also lower your game response time by 1000ms, which corresponds to a second, and so on. Basically, your response time is 2x the latency which means, if you lower your latency by 250ms, you'll also reduce your game response time by 500ms, which is half a second. On the other hand, your game response time is the time it takes for the data and the corresponding event to reach the game server and then back to your computer. Latency is measured in milliseconds, and a second is composed of 1000 milliseconds. Latency (in an online gaming context) refers to the average total time that it takes for your computer to send data to the gaming server. ![]() Latency is a term that is commonly used in online gaming. If one path using wtfast doesn't work for you, consider trying different server route. There are over 72 billion potential combinations of game, game server region, country, and proxy routes that we handle. We support thousands of games and over 60,000 combinations of GPN proxy servers to handle your connection across 190 countries. And since video streaming is such a popular activity on the internet, internet service providers have to optimize for the most popular uses of their services.ĭecreasing the number of hops between you and the AssaultCube game server can help, as well as routing your traffic through quieter and less populated proxy paths (what we call our "GPN Nodes".) Bandwidth is expensive, especially when you're streaming Netflix in 4K. Instead, it was designed to handle large quantities of data shuttling between places in the most cost-effective way possible. Standard internet traffic routing wasn't intended for low-latency gaming, like playing AssaultCube with optimized ping times. When you use wtfast, you can select a Proxy Server that sends your traffic directly to the game server instead of leaving your connection up to chance. wtfast allows you to reduce the number of hops to get much closer to your game server. There are multiple hops between your home internet connection and the AssaultCube server. Operating in less busy airspace allows private airlines to fly optimizeder than the usual commercial lines, often allowing business people to get to their destinations more quickly. For instance, private airlines fly higher in the air than standard commercial airline routes. Think of wtfast a bit like a 'optimized route,' where there are fewer cars on the road or fewer proutes in the sky. Wtfast is a utility that helps redirect your internet traffic from the 'regular' internet to a private connection.

Create a baseline of normal behavior for each individual user and device as well as for job function and job title. Use this data to model and assign risk scores to user behavior tied to specific events such as downloading sensitive data to removable media or a user logging in from an unusual location. These systems work by first centralizing user activity information by drawing from access, authentication, account change, endpoint and virtual private network (VPN) logs.
