If you want to go a bit deeper you need to use Wireshark, follow the guide until you reach the capture traffic section. or your ISP 😁 In a case like this speed tests doesnt matter! GFN is still better even in my case, it's mostly a matter of distance/capacity of the datacenters.
If you're on wi-fi make sure is 5ghz but to be on the safe side use ethernet, at least for testing.

Start a game, press CTRL+ALT+F6 and take alook at the first line in upper right corner to see the actual server.Ī test you could do is use a software like WinMTR (checks both latency and pkt loss on each hop) pointing to EU West server:ĭo the test twice, once with VPN turned on and the other without (let it go for at least 5 mins each time).Ĭompare the results and keep an eye on the "Loss %" column, it will tell you where the packets are getting lost.ĭont worry if after 5-10 hops you get a 100% loss, it's completely normalĪs u/redditcruzer said, try the browser (Chrome/Edge) or, in case you're already using it, switch to the Xbox app in Windows 10. VPN uses a different route and doesnt pass thru the same congestion, hence no packet loss.Īnother possible explanation is that EU West is overcrowded and behind the scenes you are actually connected to another server location (EU Central 2 for example), even if with 20ms of latency is very unlikely. The cause might be the route your ISP uses to get to GFN servers: an overloaded appliance or the peering/transit link to the destination can cause packet loss very easily. If the VPN "fixes" the packet loss it's 99% a problem of your ISP, Nvidia cant do much unfortunately.
