What exactly is split tunneling?

Why do I still encounter tough opponents with the VPN?

Matchmaking also considers personal stats like KD, score per minute, and win percentage, not just your location.

Does the VPN also work with Wi-Fi?

Yes, it works. A stable connection is important. If you have problems, try LAN.

What is the advantage of the VPN in ranked mode?

You will connect to regions with generally weaker players, making it easier to climb without changing your gameplay.

Why does lobby quality change every day?

It depends on factors like time of day, number of players online, chosen server, and your recent performance.

Does the VPN also work via mobile hotspot?

Yes, it works. However, it depends on the quality of your mobile connection. Performance and latency may vary.
