Basically certain IP blocks look to be using JHB as a return path. But 230ms might mean AWS has dropped that route again.@PBCool any update on the ping to bahrain? im getting 230ms now

I have been trying to use chubsvpn since yesterday but it never seems to connect, always stuck on connecting. apparently its a bug with the vpn but none of the fixes people have recommended helpedYou will need to find a vpn down in KZN to drop your ping down to about 100,
Existlags servers are sitting in JHB. My VPN at terraco gets about 127 ping to Bahrain meaning 140 (PE to JHB to DUR) is the best you will get until you get an exit point down at the coast.
The closest one I know of is Chubsvpn, which is in Harrismith, thou I believe his default client-side split tunnelling only runs the Fortnite and apex IP ranges. But if you get the IP range it's easy to add. He set up his VPN for the Fortnite community and the only thing running through the VPN is the game traffic.

Yes, i contacted chubs and he says some isp's block the vpn so idkAre you using the link and instructions from this vid?
would be great if they could do that @PBCool could you maybe hook me up lolMaybe coolideas could optimise the routes to bahrain again like they used to have since a year ago i got like 130ms to bahrain and lately most isps are back to low ping to bahrain
AWS doesn't peer in KZN, you would need a carrier that gets capacity on the cable system with a transit provider or peers in Bahrain.You will need to find a vpn down in KZN to drop your ping down to about 100,

Agreed the VPN has a tunnel to Kenya, forcing you onto the east cable.AWS doesn't peer in KZN, you would need a carrier that gets capacity on the cable system with a transit provider or peers in Bahrain.

Yeah anyone that peers with AWS effectively uses their "Global Accelerators". We have capacity directly on Eassy, but AWS gets terrestrial from Djibouti through to Bahrain vs then getting onto a SEAMEWE onward to Marseille.Agreed the VPN has a tunnel to Kenya, forcing you onto the east cable.
Valorant uses AWS Global Accelerator, so a VPN existing out in SA wouldn't help much. Basically replicates what exist lag does

how do you get 140 to ME with VPN by Cloudflaretry download this https://1.1.1.1/ it is a VPN by Cloudflare it is free it is giving me from Cape Town 140ms to Bahrain
When the route is up from CT its 140 I think the routes down at the moment I don't play games anymore in Bahrain let alone games in general thanks Eskom...how do you get 140 to ME with VPN by Cloudflare
Getting
Getting 180 from CPT to ME
What settings in WARP are needed for the lower ping

I can't comment i don't play fortnite i played it season 1 and 2 but that was like 2 years + ago i think they might have added a latency buffer i know Overwatch has a 10ms latency buffer, but yea 40 seems a bit extreme. All i know is the games i got Bahrain servers in i hit it at 140 as per the traceroutesSo where does the extra 40 ping come from , litterally get 180 constant on fornite
