OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Anyone using VPN for online modes or downloads? Any issues?

Hi all,
I’ve been having some weird connection behavior lately and started wondering about VPN usage with OOTP and other online features.
Without a VPN, I occasionally get slow downloads and random connection hiccups (especially with updates and online content). When I turn a VPN on, everything seems smoother and more stable.
I’m not trying to bypass anything — mostly just curious whether using a VPN can interfere with online leagues or Perfect Team, cause account flags or login issues, or sometimes actually improve routing and reduce packet loss. Would love to hear real-world experiences from other players.
