Keeping your home IP to yourself
Some games and voice chat apps let other players see or look up your IP address. Through VPN Club, the address they find belongs to a VPN Club server, not to your home connection.
On a shared network, such as a dorm or a cafe, the connection between your device and the server is encrypted. Others on that network cannot read your game traffic.
Ping is mostly about distance
Any VPN adds at least a short detour. Keep it short by connecting to a VPN Club server near you or near the game server.
Sometimes the VPN route is steadier than your provider's own route, and sometimes it is slower. Try a few nearby servers and compare the ping inside the game. That is the only reliable test.
- Pick WireGuard in Settings > Connection > Protocol
- Connect to a server in your country or a neighboring one
- Watch the in-game ping and switch servers if it climbs
Consoles and the game's own rules
Most consoles have no VPN app. Put a WireGuard configuration file on your router instead, and the console reaches the VPN through it.
Some games forbid VPNs or region changes. Read the game's terms before you join through a server in another country, so your account stays safe.
Leaving the game out with split tunneling
Maybe you only want the browser or voice chat behind the VPN. Split tunneling lets the game itself use your normal connection, and big game updates can download outside the tunnel too.
The setting is in Settings > Split tunneling and comes with every plan.
