Reduced latency and jitter<\/h3>\n<p>By connecting to a VPN server geographically close to the game server, it's sometimes possible to reduce perceived latency, particularly when your usual network route passes through distant nodes. Results vary considerably depending on the game, the ISP, and the network setup: this is not a guaranteed outcome.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Protection against targeted DDoS attacks<\/h3>\n<p>In competitive gaming, some malicious players obtain an opponent's IP address (notably through the P2P connections built into certain games) to launch a denial-of-service (DDoS) attack and disconnect them. A VPN masks your real IP address from other players, which reduces this risk.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Account and data security<\/h3>\n<p>Gaming and messaging accounts (login credentials, in-game wallets, stored payment methods) are frequent targets for phishing and credential theft. A VPN encrypts your traffic, which reduces the risk of interception, particularly during gaming sessions on public Wi-Fi (LAN parties, tournaments, travel).<\/p>\n<h2>Results of our gaming tests<\/h2>\n<p>We tested PureVPN on several games:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>League of Legends \u00e2\u20ac\u201d latency measured between 18 and 23ms depending on the server chosen<\/li>\n<li>CS:GO \u00e2\u20ac\u201d no significant increase in latency measured<\/li>\n<li>Warzone \u00e2\u20ac\u201d satisfactory connection stability over the test period<\/li>\n<li>FFXIV \u00e2\u20ac\u201d stable latency on a nearby European server<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>PureVPN's gaming features<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Optimized servers<\/strong> in multiple countries<\/li>\n<li><strong>DDoS protection<\/strong> included<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ping Optimizer<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d proprietary server-selection technology<\/li>\n<li><strong>Port Forwarding<\/strong> for hosting matches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Optimal gaming setup<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Choose the <strong>WireGuard<\/strong> protocol (generally the fastest)<\/li>\n<li>Select a server close to your location or to the game server<\/li>\n<li>Enable <strong>Split Tunneling<\/strong> to route only the game through the VPN<\/li>\n<li>Disable non-essential features during competitive sessions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>PureVPN offers relevant features for gamers in 2026: latency optimization in certain cases, DDoS protection, and account security.
