Nowadays, most gamers and streamers use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for their sessions. After all, a secured connection is often more than just a necessity these days.
That said, a gaming VPN provides more benefits than people realize. Therefore, if you’re wondering if you should use a VPN when gaming, then check out some of the reasons why professionals use it, to begin with.
As you may already know, a VPN creates a secure connection between your PC or some other device and the Internet. This connection is reserved only for you, which means no one can leach on your bandwidth and ISPs can’t throttle your connection because they don’t know what you’re doing.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are very common these days. If you beat someone in a multiplayer game and they find out you have a Twitch channel where you stream your gaming, they might decide to bring your channel down using DDoS. Fortunately, VPN masks your IP thus preventing such attacks.
A lot of people watch game streaming. If you happen to be a steamer, you may potentially become a victim of the so-called swatting. Malicious people can discover your location and IP address and report you for domestic terrorism thus having police storm your house. In the U.S. this involves the SWAT team hence the name. VPN masks your location and IP preventing these people from harassing you.
As mentioned before, a gaming VPN masks your IP address. The main reason this is important is that it prevents IP blocking. This is quite common in most online games because other players can report you for verbal abuse and misconduct. You get an automated IP ban before the support staff can look into it. People like to report streamers on purpose just to spite them because they have nothing better to do apparently.
A lot of games are not available all over the world, despite their creators claiming otherwise. Things like geo-blocking and lack of servers in your region are quite a common inconvenience these days. A VPN helps you avoid such obstacles because you can connect to a remote server in any region. This will allow you to play your favorite games no matter where you are.
Gamers and streamers all over the world use VPNs. The main reason is that VPN ensures a secured environment where you can truly enjoy doing what you’re doing without worrying about any problems at all.
