Hey @ Lumire I just purchased mudfish VPN and followed your guidelines and I am still getting 1 red ping on each game on korea server and being banned trying to play 3;3 Hunt. Does this not effect my ping I thought that was the soul purpose?
Oooh.. I think the purpose is to trick Blizzards 1v1 matchmaking algorithm into matching you with Koreans. I'm not sure how the ping is calculated in custom lobbies, but it's possible that the VPN is actually making it worse.

Yeah, definitely. You get a lower ping if you don't use VPN and just join the lobby games in any of the servers.
When it comes to the matchmaking, if you want to get matched with koreans, that's where VPN kicks in.

You guys are so lucky, its impossible for me to get below 250ms with or without VPN from Denmark.

As others have said, the purpose of mudfish is primarily to trick the MM algorithm into matching you with koreans, it won't help you with custom games.

I just put on some KPOP and that usually gets me games with Koreans every time, no need for a VPN.

Korean ballads lower turn rate for non-Korean VPN users, studies suggest.

Just to clarify, it's "kicked in" regardless. It's just that in the custom games, when there's 6 other players, it won't work as well, or nearly as well, or even at all. It's still kicked in, but you won't be able to achieve the right latency/ping when there's as many players.
In matchmaking, it's just 1v1, so you can more easily attain <250ms ping (which equates to about TR16); in a 3v3 BGH, it won't keep the same ping obviously and that's why you're suffering.

as said before it lowers your ping as if you are located in Korea. (but does not help to reduce lag with Korean players)
but I'm very sceptical about the ability to reduce lag if you think logically the VPN acts as a 3rd party making the connection longer less direct making lag in game actually worse.
for Europe location mudfish for sure did not help me to reduce lag the internet highway bottleneck from EU to KR is quite bad
unless you can match with some of the Koreans that use an ISP that does not limit uploading bandwidth to outside KR connections (ie korean isp: KT) you can play on a decent TR12~16 low lat with some of the Korean players)

I live in Finland, Europe and I use Mudfish to play SCR.
Most of my games with Mudfish(Korea) are TR20 Extra high, sometimes goes down to 14-16 and with very few to TR8-10.
Even if it sounds really good, the game speed is effected really big time and feels really slow and irritating. Like TR20 is totally different than what I would experience playing same TR on Europe without Mudfish.
Nevertheless I use Mudfish to play, because I get games in matter of seconds.
If I try to get a matchmaking game with my normal Finland IP address, I'm lucky to get couple games in a whole day. Normal queue is from 300 to 1000 seconds and then it either finds me a low rank game or bugs out and starts queue all over again.
Without Mudfish, there would be no SCR Matchmaking for me at all almost, so I'm still thankful for this.
Also tried Mudfish to play with US players by selecting USA VPN and it works too, sometimes bit lower TR but game speed has been still better than vs Koreans.
Definitely worth a try for anyone considering.

games in seconds? Wow, I may try it now....

Mudfish stopped working for me recently. Starcraft client throws an error when I log in using Korean VPN. Anyone else having the same issue? Is it Mudfish-related or I should try another VPN software?

I don’t use a VPN and 95% of my opponents are Korean

Same, are you on the west or east coast? I'm in California now

The issue seems to be fixed, was Mudfish-related I guess.
|
It's been a while, is it worth now to use this or any other VPN to play on korean ladder?

Me too, also I wouldn't pay to have koreans curse at me because of the lag

Does not work again. Can somebody sugggest good Korean VPN for BW that does work? I'm not getting Koreans anymore.

Not Korean server related, but wondering if anyone knows how to stop lag if they try to play on Europe server through Battle.net Region: Europe
I'm in the NA section of the world, but I am the lagger on the Europe end, wondering if any other NA's have found a solution or is it just randomly location based (i'll either lag or I won't situation)?
|
Just play outside Korea if you're not living in Korea. It's an easy solution.
