I am a Tokyo-based player, however the servers are usually quiet at night, so I like to play on US servers.
I have a ping of 100ms in Tokyo but over 200ms in the US servers.
Is there any way I can reduce my ping? Does VPN do the trick?

The ping or ms is the time a signal from your computer needs to reach the server. That time can be very high due to a bad internet conection but you can only make it better up to a specific point. The signal from your PC is sent trough cables in the ocean to the north american continent. But since its a very long cable the signal needs a fixed amount of time to trave, lets say 150ms. There is no way that you get a ping below 150ms because no matter where you conect your vpn to the signal will eventually have to pass trough the cable to reach the diep server.
What you can do is try to make your ping as stable as possible. A ping ranging from 200-220 is much more enjoyable and predictable to play on then one ranging from 200-300. To achieve that u need to have a good wifi and conect your vpn to the city the diep Server is in or to tokyo. Try both and see what gets you better results since different vpn conections will also mean different routing for your signal and if your lucky a more stable route.
I am sitting on $1400 Herman Miller Aeron chair but it is not helping with my lag.
