I did use express VPN when I was on my old ISP and seemed to do the trick, but I'll for sure give this a try and see how it works out, moved over to WebSquad purely because of the lower latency and the ping to EU is fantastic compared to my old ISP, but it was just my luck that when I moved over there was a fault and now have to use a VPN, but in any case it will hopefully be fixed soon.
Evening, nothing that we're aware of. Do you have IPs we can trace to? What kind of issues?
Evening, just following up if the updated return paths look better?
Talk about impeccable timing, the ME route has been fixed and is now up. Hope you didn't already pay for exitlag or a VPNI did use express VPN when I was on my old ISP and seemed to do the trick, but I'll for sure give this a try and see how it works out, moved over to WebSquad purely because of the lower latency and the ping to EU is fantastic compared to my old ISP, but it was just my luck that when I moved over there was a fault and now have to use a VPN, but in any case it will hopefully be fixed soon.
Thanks for the info
Looks like some additional return via ParisAlso, my Speedtest to Coreix in London is 20ms higher than it used to be, I used to get 167ms almost constantly for years but now in the 180s so something is definitly off and not just with Tarkov:
Possibly related to the azure outage if they’re using that for authentication? (Purely a guess- but I know that quite a few services have been similarly affected)

Getting lower ping to Bahrain than to London on Valorant from Cape Town. 144ms to Bahrain and 150ms to London.Talk about impeccable timing, the ME route has been fixed and is now up. Hope you didn't already pay for exitlag or a VPN
Thats pretty normal Valorant uses AWS servers and their transit to London is 150ms vs the normal 141 you see with most ISPs.Getting lower ping to Bahrain than to London on Valorant from Cape Town. 144ms to Bahrain and 150ms to London.
Why would their transit be different on Websquad as opposed to other ISPs?
Valorant use a number of cloud providers from what we’ve seen (I stand to be corrected, but the IPs I’ve seen above seem to show multiple networks). AWS routes would be the same across the board for locally AWS peered networks, others would vary based on routes available to the particular destination.
I get 150 from CISP on London and 144 to Bahrain I also get 150 using Warp from Cloudflare
We’ve received updated communities (basically rules that allow us to manage blocks of routes) and will work on optimising these over the next few days.
My bad, didn't see your message here. Was not a complaint, I was just asking because I was curious as the comment Cryptic dropped about the normal for most ISPs just confused me
