I saw this program promoted by markeedragon on youtube and it does support EVE online but i was wanting to cheak to see if it is ok to use with eve.

Its a program that cuts sown on lag by cutting down on homany sever connection you have to go throw when the target server in in a forren country so for most peopl in the UK it will not help much but for us canadians and americants it will help with improve our connection speed's.

this is the addvertisement

I don't see what could possibly be problematic about it. It's not really altering the game so much as the path your computer takes to reach the game server. Which doesn't affect anything beyond your connection.

Doubt you will get a official thumbs up, and will just redirect you to the ToS

It was more correct when it was a spelling error.

Sounds like any type of VPN service out there, which wouldn't really be for CCP to say how you route your traffic, but could be a security concern maybe if the providers (which in this case aim it at gamers) have managed to decode parts of the protocol in which case they could maybe sniff traffic.

Or simply telling Windows(I assume) to QoS the packets for your game. I'm sure this is something you don't need their software to do either way (but thankfully I don't even have 300ms latency so yay)

But hey, this could be something other than a VPN service so I can't say for sure.

Ahh... the wonderful earn cash affiliate links, brings back memories..
Maybe you should petition to see if it's ok for you to use? ...though that would defeat the purpose I suppose. Roll

This situation would be best resolved by filing a petition with CCP either in game or on the support section of this website, rather than posting on General Discussion. Thread is locked - ISD Type40.
