Aah, maybe to optimise the routing to the rest of EU?

Anyone? I followed softhethers guide but their screenshot shows a very old ios version @PBCool

i notice you may have disabled acceptance for mobile devices and selected L2TP without encryp and disabled ipsec :(

Yes we don't do IPSec on the VPN. We don't specifically lock down mobile devices.

We don't require IPSec for the VPN just l2tp, so hopefully your iPad can disable the IPSEC requirement ?
 
Cant you enable ipsec? Coz according to softhether manual if ipsec is disabled mobiles wont work only pcs

Lol your customers are mobile gamers too give us some love and no i dont play candy crush i play pubg and call of duty mobile competitively
 
@TheRoDent @PBCool

Thank you very much for the effort you guys put in!

I will repost a post of mine that i made in the websquad thread to show what is possible and how to do it.

That is if you just get capacity up and running just to https://www.vultr.com/ in Singapore

Thanks again for all the effort!
 
I made the post below on websquad so that you can see what is possible on cool ideas if you can just get vultr capacity to Singapore

Ok here i go!

You guys at websquad are lucky since you do not have to use a relay server like i do. Since you already have direct capacity to Singapore.

The problem that you have (same as some other VPS company's in South africa) you only have transit to some ip's in Singapore.

So the solution is to Host your own VPN in Singapore and you will just use that as a gateway to apex servers.

That will guarantee that you get a low ping to all IP's in Singapore. And the nice thing about Singapore servers are they are all in the same zone. Not like EU when you select London and you land on Frankfurt.

I Currently use https://www.vultr.com/

You can test ping to it at https://sgp-ping.vultr.com/ or just to ip :45.32.100.168

Looking at websquads looking glass

So in summary you will get ping to your VPS in Singapore of

JHB : +- 117
CPT: +- 132
DBN: +- 126

I use the 3rd option at https://www.vultr.com/products/cloud-compute/#pricing

That is 1 gig ram 1 cpu and 1000 gig data that works out at max $5.75($5 + vat of 0.75) per month if you run your vps 24/7 the whole month. Since vultr only charge you if you use your VPS at them. I run mine 24/7 :)

Choose Server : Cloud Compute
Server location: Singapore

https://imgur.com/6twvTaT

Server type: Ubuntu 21.10 x64
And Server size : $5

Then you just run wireguard on your vps.

And that can be done very easily with this Wireguard road warrior script for multiple users.

https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install

And then you run wireguard on your pc when you want to play in Singapore. Since your ping will be low for any game you play in Singapore.

The end result for me playing from Pretoria : And i have to use a relay server in JHB since i am with a different ISP and that adds a few ms

https://imgur.com/o7RCNAm

You would obviously just have low ping to singapore.

I am running this whole thing on my Opensense router and routing all Singapore IP's to my VPN in Singapore and all other IP's over my defualt ISP.

But that is a whole different setup :)

Hope this helps! And you can make as many Wireguard profiles on your vps as you want to share with your friends at websquad and it will cost you Max $5.75 a month as long as you use less than 1000gig.

I hope this makes sense ! I typed this really fast since we have loadshedding in 5 mins.
