I live in south Texas and 90% of my random teammates don’t speak english and lobbies seem to be same way. What VPN is worth using so I can play outside of Texas or even North Texas
None. Your ping will go up and it won’t be fun anymore.
Most popular options have servers all over the US. The one I use–Surfshark–has like 24 cities across the US for me to use in addition to other countries.
As for ping, it just depends on where you route through. Ping is pretty much dictated by distance since it’s just the measurement of how long it takes to go from A to B. If this list of where the servers are is true then you’re most likely connected to the Texas server. The next closest one would probably be California so if you routed to LA and then connected to the servers then it might be a <40ms difference.
You have 2 servers in Texas. Your next options are Florida or Chicago. Prime time the server in LA is up and running.
I use Nord and my ping is decent with it (around 30-40).
Thanks. My ping is usually 18-25 most days. I dont want to screw that up
Lag compensation in the game will make it so you don’t even feel the ping. You just don’t want packet loss. I’ve played with 100 ping with no issue. I’m east coast and have played on European servers and usually got 90 ping. Friends could get 70 ping at times. I know people use expressvpn at times.
