Wait... VPNs are broken? As in Virtual Private Networks? NO!!!!!!!!
You don't know much about the VPN market, do you? Ever heard of 5, 9 and 14 eyes?
???
the 'doh' part may have irked you a bit but he is actually answering your question in a very sensible way.
the new integrated shop is the novelty in this release, and i would expect such would require additional servers and gateways to work, i.e., "other information". ofc it could be anything, but that's about the best guess i could come up with too.
now if you want to deride me too or compare me with a toddler please add a funny gif or make it somehow interesting or funny. let's be creative! thanks!
I know of FVEY.. and their enlargement - multinational signal intelligence organizations.I also know of the utter B.S. spewed about them via YouTube by people barely old enough to aim themselves at the toilet too. And these folks don't need no stinking warrants. Of course, if you're trying to hide from them you probably have bigger things to worry about than your Elite ping times.
I never said they were. I just said they are surprisingly good for using a VPN. What IS better is my ability to retrieve mission data from Frontier. For whatever reason, mission data takes forever and often is incomplete when I play ED straight from my ISP.
LOL, do you really think I'm trying to hide my IP from the FBI? That's not why I use a VPN. I am glad that all you yahoos playing this game can't see my real IP address when we instance together, however
Again, they look good because they're not YOUR ping times, they're the ping times reported to your host. IF you're getting any performance improvements it's likely due to how the routers at your host are configured. Unlike home routers, these sorts of companies are using mid to high end professional equipment - Cisco Catalyst, Juniper, and these are configured by people who know the hardware and the embedded OS. One of the reasons I have such high performance at home is because I use a Juniper router as well, and it's configured to not be "chatty" like home routers. I also filter out a lot of foreign web traffic as well as most internet ad servers, dataminers and spiders. I also have the fortune to be behind an ISP black hole, which also greatly diminishes my junk traffic - though on the flip side, it also makes location-based services, like Playstation Vue a near impossibility, as they see me as being some 600 miles away from where I actually am - in a completely different city and state.
And no, I don't think you, personally, are trying to hide from the FBI - that you'd ask such a question tells me you'd be caught within 14 minutes.
You wouldn't - you have the Ministry of State Security to contend with instead, and they already know where you've been, what you've done, and when you're going to do it again.
But do they know how much ARX I make?
Yes, and as soon as they figure out how to monetize it for the state, they will.
