Scene routes
Stay in the game.
Choose Gaming for routes selected with response time and connection consistency in mind. Spend less time choosing a node and more time playing.
- Routing strategy
- Latency-first · UDP-priority forwarding with doubled jitter penalty
Latency-first filtering and ranking
Only nodes that meet the latency threshold enter the Gaming category. They are then ranked by the weighted score with a doubled penalty for latency variation (jitter), to reduce the stutter of a game that alternates between fast and slow.
UDP-priority forwarding
Most online games use UDP. Gaming routes forward UDP traffic with priority to keep queueing short and to reduce the rollbacks and stutter caused by packet loss.

Frequently asked questions
More answers in the Support Center, or email us directly.
How much latency does Gaming remove?
It depends on your network and where the game server is. The route gives you a steadier path with less jitter; it cannot change physical distance. Choosing a node in the same region as the game server works best.
Which games are supported?
The routes are not tied to particular games; any game played over the network can use them, and games that use UDP benefit the most.
Which plans include Gaming?
Standard and higher plans include the Gaming scene.
Are other apps affected while Gaming is connected?
The tunnel applies to all network traffic on the device, so other apps travel through the same node; you will normally not notice any difference.
Other scene routes
Switch the category in the app's node tab to use them.
Smart routing
Let the app choose a route using current latency, load and packet loss, or pick your preferred location yourself.
