not a internet tech guy
i thought vpn only changes your ip address location
how does that help streamer get into low k/d lobbies?
It put them on servers in remote areas, for example nadia uses one for Brazil which has alot of bots to make up for the lack of players on those servers
Well, CoD VPN doesn’t now work as the usual VPN, at least thats what usually streamer do. Basically, what it does, you can configure the VPN, so that you can connect to India for example (only virtually), and then use a geo location application (usually found in netduma routers), so that it make somekind of a fence where the matchmaking should not leave this area. Using these two techniques, the game will put you in the farthest server to your location which is mostly consist of newbies. The only thing for this, is that you have pick time when everyone js sleeping, e.g., at night in Europe you would pick Hong Kong, because most ppl are sleep by then or in schools. I know I might messed up in clarification but hope you get the point.
Helps them get bot lobbies to pad their KD
It’s supposed to put you on remote servers populated by bots like Egypt so then they can run with 7kd through 0.5 kd lobbies and prove how great pro players they are mowing through 5yo children and people with 300 ping lol. Also they use wh to locate their victims quicker so they can brag about 50+ fake bombs
Vpn not help only cheater its huge help for players with Big kd
The vpn dont put u in bot lobbies
VPN help to tricks the SBMM matchmaking its mean u have many chance to have a good lobbies with good players Bad players and average player if u are a random player dont waste u money on buying vpn
I went down the VPN route. You could say “curiosity killed the cat”
Me and my two friend have 1.4 1.6 & 1.9kds (without ever VPN’ing)
I downloaded one after constantly getting our cheeks clapped as it felt SBMM was turned up to the max for us.
With the VPN we average maybe 4/5wins a session and since having it we’ve all dropped a few 20s.
It’s 100% cheating in our opinion. We won’t be doing it on MW2 or Warzone2
The data of the game is usually send/received like this:
- Game hands data to OS.
- OS sends data to server
- Server receives data
- Server creates “response”
- Server sends “response”
- Response received from OS
- OS hands response to game.
When you use a VPN:
- Game hands data to OS.
- OS sends data to server
- Data is intercepted (original packet)
- Data is handed to VPN
- Data is encrypted
- Data is put into a new packet
- New packet is handed to OS
- OS sends new packet to new server
- New server receives data
- New server hands data to VPN
- VPN decrypts data
- Original packet is manipulated to change source
- Original packet is handed to OS
- OS sends original packet to original destination (server)
- Server receives data
- Server creates “response”
- Server sends “response”
- Response received from VPN server
- Response is intercepted
- Response is manipulated to change destination (game client)
- Response is encrypted
- Response is put into a new packet
- New packet is handed to OS
- OS sends new packet to game client
- Game client receives new packet
- Game client hands new packet to VPN
- VPN decrypts new packet
- VPN hands data (response packet) to OS
- OS hands response packet to game
You see, there’s a lot more work going on. This alone adds more delay. More work always adds more time and in this example we’re not even talking about the fact that data is rerouted and travels the indirect way instead of the direct one.
The VPN providers use with a lot of shady tricks to make it look like an IP is in a certain part of the world, even when it isn’t, which can still speed things up, but you will never have better ping than what you have w/o VPN. If the VPN shows you better ping results, then the ping is manipulated or just a fake display.
The above is the law of physics and that cannot be influenced. Not even with the best software developers on the planet.
The whole VPN thing is a big scam.
Probably going to get downvoted like crazy for this, but so far nobody has got it right.
The most popular service routes a PORTION of your traffic through to a specific location so that the game believes that you are somewhere else geographically. If you were in the UK and selected India for example, the game will still put you in a server close to you. The theory is that the game thinks you’re somewhere else but won’t connect you to local servers, so it “bypasses” SBMM and just puts you on a server with good ping, in this example it would be some other European server.
Personally I do not believe it works and that certain people simply receive preferential treatment when it comes to matchmaking.
it’s not “cheating” it just puts you in a lower bracket of SBMM. it’s like if tiger woods went to the local golf course and played the women’s tees.
Because this community is mostly filled with brain-dead 45 year old angry dads who can’t do research, I will tell you how streamers use these VPNs, because only one person in the comment section got it right. To start off, the software they use aren’t actual VPNs. They are IP spoofers. What it does is it tricks the game into thinking you’re playing from a very far place, such as India, Singapore, Australia, etc. Therefore, since the game thinks you are searching from somewhere very far away, it connects you to servers based off ping. This is how your SBMM gets broken. This all happens while you still get matched in your local servers. That is why you are able to play without any lag and get matched with people who still speak your language.
People from other countries aren’t necessarily worse than people from any other one; a vpn allows you to play in a different time zone. Lobby KDs are generally at their highest from around 10PM-2AM, and the difficulty level subsides from that point on. The easiest lobbies are widely regarded as being found in the morning; and so by using a vpn you can play at 10am someone elses time, despite it being 2am yours.
Basically a way to trick the matchmaking system. Which I’m sure there is a way the developers could fix it but they don’t
This community is beyond soft asf and emotional asf as if any person using a vpn has any effect on wtf you do in game like damn. Wtf do a vpn gotta do with anybody in this lobby like real life! Or is y’all mad because y’all in the bot lobby too and they stealing yo shine lol
Not according to Activisions ToS.
Also if you play at night in thar area there are even less people playing making it require absolutely no skill
Imagine if they just didn’t have SBMM. Then this entire ideology of VPNs would be void.
Nope.
It sets your Geo to India or where ever, the game searches for a server in india but the ping is too high - It starts to prioritize ping over SBMM and you end up connected to a server that you usually would but with a random skill level. You could get a 0.5 lobby or a 1.5 but you will get more low skill lobbies than you would without it.
Why buy, when you can create one or get one for free?
Free vpn its bullshit thing thé free vpn dont have many localisation maybe 1 or 2 free localisation but the rest of thé World its not free
