    They used to say NordVPN would boost your game’s latency in their ads so I’m not surprised

          Using a VPN generally increases your latency. Latency is…bad. They are advertising a negative consequence as a positive feature, banking on the target market not having enough understanding of the terms in play.

          Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You might understand it better but the frog is dead.
