ANnyone use Cyberghost VPN?

[Superrock]

It's pretty wierd. Yesterday I used cyberghost VPN and everything was working ok. Today I used it again, connected to one of their free servers and was set to go, but none of my internet applications are now working whenever Cyberghost is running in the background. Anyone have any ideas why? I checked the firewall settings but that's not it.

Can anyone recommend any free methods for free annymous internet applications? I'm not looking only for surfing. The main reason I'm doing this is becuase my Age of Conan only has a good latency whenever I change my ip.

I have a hard time believing that using a VPN decreases your latency in AoC. Is there a huge change in your ping? If you can get the IP of the servers you connect to do a traceroute both with the VPN and without.

As for you actual problem, I dont' know .

There is a huge change in my latency. Basically I go from going from 2k-10k lag spikes constantly to green, 100-300ms ping constantly. It's not just me it's happening to thousands of other players as well and theres a long thread in the AoC Technical forums about it.

Without VPN I did a traceroute and kept dropping packets and timing out. I haven't tried with VPN yet but dunno if it'll much more enlightening.

Back to the original topic, does anyone know of any good free or inexpensive VPN servers that will allow me to change my ip? Every one I find is really expensive.

Sounds like you'd be better off talking to your ISP about the problem. Chances are when you use the VPN you are taking a different route to the AoC servers thus bypassing whatever network/equipment is faulty or mis configured. If you can pinpoint which device on the route to the AoC servers is causing the problem it will help you figure out who to contact. If the problem is with Funcom then they should fix it, if it's not then it's up to your ISP to fix it.
