ELITE GAMER
Elite Gamer is a VPN for gaming, also known as a GPN, that prioritizes speed between your router and the gaming servers you access during online gaming sessions. So, how can Elite Gamer enhance your experience? Elite Gamer helps improve responsiveness by reducing latency, jitter, spikes, and packet loss. Think of them as a traffic cop routing you along the fastest route to your destination.
GPN vs. VPN
Traffic and Encryption
- A VPN encrypts all Internet traffic in and out of your machine, to the VPN server, and then to the target server or computer. In the process, VPNs usually tunnel all Internet traffic on your PC.
- On the other hand, the GPN does not encrypt or modify traffic. It relays traffic to the target server “as-is,” and it tunnels only selected real-time game communications.
Performance
- The performance of VPN servers can vary wildly depending on configuration and usage distribution. For example, many people all at once decide to use a VPN server to download a game or stream a show, this will impact the VPN performance. For this reason, VPN services are typically not reliable enough for latency-sensitive real-time communications, such as online gaming.
- Meanwhile, the GPN’s narrow focus on in-game connection traffic helps ensure better network connection performance and prevents servers from getting overloaded by unrelated traffic, such as streaming a show or downloading a game or patch.
