Routers are programmed to prioritize encrypted traffic, so it may shave a millisecond or two off each hop that it makes while encrypted. The other is in using a proxy, use it via an encrypted tunnel.
Depending on how the packets all get routed, it's a gamble, and you'd only be able to tell via trial and error really, and some proxies want to charge for access. If you can find a decent proxy server - it may be that your ping to the proxy server, plus there ping to your gaming server, combined, is lower than what your current ping is now. There are 2 things you can try, but neither is guaranteed, and it may cost money. If you run a traceroute to your server, you can see where your getting hung up - if it's as early as your router or your ISP you may be able to do something about it - if it's one of likely dozens of stops inbetween - not so much.
What game are you playing that a 150ish ping is not playable? Packet loss is another issue entirely which can make games very unplayable.Īs as been said before - there isn't a lot you can do for ping. Your problem might not be your ping, though. The only true ways to reduce your ping are to move to a different location, or use an ISP which has a better infrastructure. Either way, you don't reduce the time it takes to talk to the server. In my example, you can go down one then to the right to connect to S, or you can go through proxy server P to connect to S. Every x is a node, or hop (basically a router) on the internet that you have to go through to get to your destination. This example might help you understand how the internet works. A ping of 150 ms is fair for playing most MMORPGs. Your ping to a server represents the amount of time it takes for data to travel there, and for the server to send the response back to you.
