ping booster/internet question

[raz]

i live between Europe and Asia and the closest dedicated servers are in germany 3000km away
means my ping is always with luck 65 and the worse case 90 so means it pretty much sucks playing online games.
my question is.. are there things like ping booster in the world of internet providers?
or something what can give you a better ping?

Not without paying extra money. Check Google and check reviews. There are vpns that offer ping boosters but I don't know that would help you much, I can be wrong. But either way you will require to pay some sum of money. Google ping boosters. Results will come up.

No such thing as the laws of physics can not be changed. It takes time for your signal to travel.
While traveling at near light speed is fast, it's not instantaneous.
Not to mention that every single hop between your PC and your target destination has to process your data packets.
That is something you can not change.

Depends on the games. In a game like DAYZ for example, under 100 ping is perfectly fine. Its when over like 120-130 range that it can be a real problem with in-game lagg.

Theres not only 1 path to follow.

Some vpn corporation can have better connection between routers, better path to the internet backbone and such, which can improve network connections.
If you can get a good connection with those services, and those services have a good connection with the host, the overall ping can be better.

But that is rare.. the vpn encryption alone already gives a lot of latency.

Ping/Latency is a function of distance and hops. Less hops, lower ping. Finding an ISP or VPN provider that has a faster path is trial and error, and there no guarantees they're still using the same paths 6 months from now.

If you want to dive into it a little deeper:

and find a game with servers closer to your physical location or with faster connections

you can try dns codes? never seem to work

google dns 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

cloudflare 1.1.1.1

[_I_]

dns is only used to convert hostname to ip

google and cloudfare are of the fastest
but will not change ping to the servers once the name is resolved

Don't work because its unrelated to the connection itself.
