Help Dedicated Server & Proxies

[mamedina]

Hi all) Maybe someone can help me on this  I have tried several alternatives and none have worked for me.

 

I need to find the best ping for our players in both Latam and EU. I have tried dedicated in Germany and proxies in the US and Brazil but there is still a lot of ping in Latam. Dedicated in Canada and proxies in Brazil and Germany but too much ping in Latam and high in EU. Can someone tell me which alternative is the best? Thanks a lot

This problem is normal, you should choose where you have the greatest flow of players. and a Solomonic solution could be to open the same project, one in Latam and another in the US or UE.-

If you're not seeing good results with your current setup, you might want to explore proxies that are specifically optimized for gaming traffic. You could also consider getting a dedicated server in a region that offers low-latency routing options, such as closer to major internet exchange points.

This topic is old, but since it has been brought back to life, I’ll reply as it may help some people:

Your proxies should be in strategic locations. Capital cities typically have private peering points, so always choose a capital over a regular city for better connectivity.

OVH’s regular network isn’t optimized for gaming unless you’re using a Game dedicated server. In that case, their network is more optimized, and you may experience lower latency in most scenarios.

Using Load Balancers is a far better solution than relying on random proxies. OVH’s Load Balancers use Anycast, which offers better performance compared to any proxy or VPS/Dedi you might set up on your own. I recommend trying a Load Balancer from OVH instead of creating a custom proxy.

Of course, there’s more you can do, such as creating custom routings and prioritizing traffic, but that’s a more advanced topic and would take too much time.

And if you're trying to reduce ping for players in both Latam and EU, using a proxy server can help in some cases, especially if you're selecting the right locations for your proxies. It seems like you've already tried proxies in the US, Brazil, and Germany, but the ping is still too high in some areas.
