I’ve never used one; I’ve always managed to resolve any ping-related issues by using an Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi. You should try that first before considering a "gaming VPN." But have you ever actually used one? Did it really help? Did it actually work and improve your ping, or did everything stay the same—making it a complete waste of time?

I have never signed up for a VPN service for gaming purpose. However, I have available free trials of certain VPN services such as Ghost VPN. Ghost VPN is one of the best VPN services out there. Apart from Ghost VPN, I have also availed the free services of Windscribe VPN as well. Both of them are quite awesome. I will certainly try their premium version in the future.

I have used VPN to access sites that were not available in my region or blocked by our government but I have never used VPN for gaming. If the game isn’t available in my location, I don’t like to access it through VPN. I already have a lot of games that I can enjoy
