Game overlay networks, game onion networks, game VPNs, they're all words for the same thing. Like mudfish http://mudfish.net

For people playing across the globe, you connect to their servers, and they give you a better global transit to the other side of the planet. For better latency for games.

Do people have recommendations for a game performance network they use? They've had good experiences with?

I've been playing with mud fish, and it's okay, I was just hoping people had some other recommendations.

I use speedify, its great, but only at Multipath bonding. Take a bunch of crappy ISP links and put them together to get a solid single connection. So if your Rural with starlink, DSL, and cellular - you can bond all 3 links, send your game traffic across all 3, and any packet loss will be almost un-noticable.

It wont decrease your latency, but it can improve reliability. I highly recommend speedify if you have multiple flaky internets available.
