WTFast review

WTFast was one of the first dedicated gaming networks and still sells its patented Gamers Private Network, or GPN. The company is clear that the GPN is not a VPN: it routes only game traffic and uses machine learning to pick an optimized path to the server, with real-time analytics so you can see what happens along the way. Its own examples include Singapore to Australia dropping from 220 ms to 120 ms and Brazil to the US from 150 ms to 105 ms. The subscribe page lists 200+ nodes and 1,000+ PC games, with weekly, 1, 3 and 12 month plans, and standard plans cover one concurrent device, with a four-device option. Features include automatic and manual connections, multi-server chains, custom game support and custom server ports. It ranks last mainly because the checkout showed only PLN prices from our location, its trial is paid, and its game library is smaller than ExitLag, NoPing or GearUP.

Who it is for

PC players on long routes, such as Southeast Asia to Australia, who want a dedicated game network.
