VPN connection

[Kray2k]

Hi. I'm from Russia. I want to buy VPN. And i thought that i could connect to Moscow to improve my ping.

Is there some point of this because i live in Siberia which is far from Moscow.

So can i use it without losses and issues and with a good connection to server of Moscow?

Check pics below.

Using a VPN almost always increases your ping, because there is another place your data has to go before it actually gets to the destination.

Not unless your isp is doing weird things with your traffic. The only time a vpn will improve anything aside from security is if your isp is routing your traffic in round about ways. A vpn will typically make your speed slower and your ping much worse.

So if my isp is routing my traffic in round about ways in this case i can use VPN. Am i right?

You can it doesn't mean you'll get a better connection though. It depends what there doing. I had an issue with my isp throttleing Netflix and a vpn fixed that.
