Alright.
If you buy a server in UK and connect to CF through that one, its THAT servers ping that shows. Not yours.
Your ping is the time it takes for packets to travel to that server, PLUS between that server and CF.
You might however be avoiding some bad routes.
I had 200 and above ping before I bought a close-by VPN, which now gives me 44 ping in-game, which is around 60 real ping (since the server is probably around 15 ping away from me).
This gave me a de facto better ping since the bad routers that gave me a 200+ ping are being avoided.
If I bought a VPN in UK, I'd most likely still be getting 200+ ping, even though it shows up in-game as 10.
To get a fair assessment of what kind of ping you're gaining, buy a VPN as close as possible to your location.
Buying one in the UK if you're NOT in the UK won't give you a true value. -

because now i bypass some bad routers and go straigt to the UK vpn server and somehow my connection dont go straight to Z8games UK host also dot1
i think i play with a real 40 ping because i know the diff between 102 and 40 i know when i'm connected to vpn or not because all register and it stupid that my connection dont connect straight to them but when i play CSS on UK server i get 32 MS also my friend get 2 and he lives other side of belgium so 102 is rly high and bullsh!t since my country is close to UK (2 hours with boat)
