Not to worry you, but I'd also be wondering what else it was doing, apart from lowering your internet speeds 
Fresh windows install definitely a must IMO. |
Personally, I am curious how a VPN can enhance the gaming experience.. I know that this system can enable people to play LAN games (games limited to local network) over the internet, and I can see that depending how the VPN routes your connection, it may give you a shorter route to your game servers (shorter route=more responsive game), but there is also an overhead in that that data needs to be encrypted and decrypted, which may not only wipe out the advantage of the shorter route, but may take longer than the time you save.
I am genuinely curious about this.
