Whether you're trying to play a game earlier than it's supposed to release in your region or are trying to just bypass internet filters in countries that block certain games (Read China and it's BF4 ban) there's many advantages of gaming with a VPN but what exactly is the best one to keep ping under stable control and stop disconnections for the most part?
Well in the past I have tried many VPN services like ExpressVPN, Goldenfrog and a couple of others and I'm going to tell you no VPN is without it's issues because a VPN reduces internet speed and most actually cause random disconnections while doing demanding internet tasks. If it's not random disconnections then it's spiking ping.
Out of the 3 or 4 top advertised services, Goldenfrog has been the most stable and ping doesn't go up that much. The ping is also relatively stable, It might fluctuate a bit but it doesn't spike like the others. I got almost no disconnections and I was able to play Battlefield Hardline a day or two earlier than when my region was supposed to be released. The speed for the most part was sustained although it did throttle a bit, I used Speedtest.net to verify my speeds as well as Goldenfrog's application.
I had to go through different service and get refunds after testing the experience with dismal results overall but I hope this will help people out there trying to find the right VPN for gaming. There's a method you have to do to get the early access to new games a day or two earlier so you might want to search online and see how to do that for each gaming service you might use (Steam, Origin, PSN, Battle.Net etc). Reddit is where I typically go for that info with a Bing or google search.
