Question / Help Streaming through a VPN

[timoseewho]

hi, so the current situation is this, i'm playing from China (Guangdong), connecting through a VPN routing to Japan (Tokyo) to a WoW server in east coast USA. when i stream, should i choose the Japan, Tokyo server (FMS URL) to achieve the best quality?

the reason i use a VPN to do all this is because for some reason my ISP routes to some oddball places creating HUGE lag spikes and i'm 200x more stable playing through a VPN lol

thanks

If your VPN endpoint is Japan, you should likely use the Japan server.

Better yet, run the TeamLiquid Twitch Bandwidth Tester tool while using your VPN, and see what comes back with the best results. You want over 80 Quality to be usable, 90+ strongly preferred.

wow thanks for the speedy response

i'll definitely have a look at that thanks!

update: to no one's surprise, Tokyo was among the top, but Chile #1!? lol
