This has led to ISPs (internet service providers) implementing throttling techniques to slow down certain types of traffic, which can cause significant inconvenience and even financial loss for those affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using PureVPN is one of the best ways to prevent ISP throttling, as it encrypts all data passing through the network. This means that ISPs cannot detect or throttle specific types of traffic, as they can&#8217;t tell what kind of data is being transmitted. In addition, PureVPN uses high-speed servers located around the world, so even if throttling occurs, users will still be able to enjoy fast speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Buy cheaper games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re an avid PlayStation 4 gamer, you know that PS4 games can be pretty expensive. Luckily, there&#8217;s a way to get new PS4 games cheaper using PureVPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you connect to PureVPN, you&#8217;ll be able to choose from several different server locations; for instance Portugal. You&#8217;ll be able to take advantage of lower prices on the PlayStation Store by connecting to a server in a country where the prices are low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be able to buy games cheaper, but you&#8217;ll also be able to get access to exclusive content that&#8217;s not available in other regions. So, if you&#8217;re looking for a way to get the best deals on PS4 games, be sure to connect to PureVPN servers first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce Laging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lag is a serious issue in gaming and a gamer&#8217;s win or defeat usually hangs in the balance because of lag. Using PureVPN can help you reduce lag and improve your gaming experience on PS4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/battlefield-4-gameplay_multiplayer_24.jpg\" alt=\"PS4 VPN\" class=\"wp-image-21169\" title=\"PS4 VPN\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our PS4 VPN connects you to a dedicated P2P &amp; gaming server, which has the lowest traffic.

And sometimes the time and date are the same but the time-zone difference makes the difference. For instance, gamers in Australia and Japan will get a digital download of a game before gamers in the USA and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Call-of-duty-Black-Ops-4.png\" alt=\"Call of duty Black Ops 4\" class=\"wp-image-37549\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PureVPN can bridge this gap of date or time so gamers can get early access to the game by connecting to the country server like connecting to the US server where the game is being released using our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purevpn.com\/servers\/usa-vpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USA VPN service<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ddos-protection\">DDOS Protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PS4 servers are almost always facing DDOS attacks by rival gamers. Getting a DDOS attack is a big issue for gamers, and to counter this threat, PureVPN offers secure DDOS-protected IPs for gamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PureVPN\u2019s DDoS Protected Dedicated IP add-on is a blessing for gamers from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-surf-internet-on-ps-console\">Surf Internet on PS Console<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a PS4 gaming console, you do not require a laptop or a computer to surf the internet, as the console is just as good for the job. You can stream popular media sites on it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purevpn.com\/gaming-vpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.purevpn-tools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/PS3-PS4.png\" alt=\"PureVPN for PS3 PS4 \" class=\"wp-image-21161\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-access-region-locked-games-nbsp\">Access region-locked games&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, a VPN will allow you to access games restricted in your area. For example, if a game is only available outside of the US, or released ahead of schedule somewhere else, then using a VPN could give you access to this game before its official release date.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lower-ping-and-latency\">Lower ping and latency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, using a VPN on your PlayStation 4 can improve speeds and reduce latency when playing online games. This is important as it will help ensure that you have a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience. A VPN encrypts your data and makes sure that there are no slowdowns due to congestion on the network.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-added-protection\">Added protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thirdly, with a VPN providing online protection for your PlayStation 4, you can rest assured that your data and personal information are safe and secure from hackers who may be trying to gain access to these details while you\u2019re connected to the internet.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-i-use-a-free-vpn-on-my-ps4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_use_a_free_VPN_on_my_PS4\"><\/span>Should I use a free VPN on my PS4?\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, it is not advised to use a free VPN on your PS4. Free VPNs usually don\u2019t provide the same level of security and privacy as their subscription-based counterparts. Also, free VPNs may have limited server selection, slow speeds, and unreliable connections which can severely impact your gaming experience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, a majority of free VPNs are found to be collecting user data and selling it off to the highest bidder and third parties for their own financial gain. Therefore, it is best to avoid using free VPNs on your PS4 and instead opt for reliable paid services that offer better security features and performance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-bot-lobbies-with-a-ps4-vpn\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_bot_lobbies_with_a_PS4_VPN\"><\/span>How to get bot lobbies with a PS4 VPN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Configure a VPN Connection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to set up your PS4 VPN connection. This is done by downloading a VPN service on your device. Once you have selected a provider, download their app and follow the on-screen instructions to configure the settings for your console.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will need to choose your server, enter the username and password provided by your provider, and then enable the encryption protocols.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once connected, it\u2019s time to find bot lobbies. This can be done by searching for online gaming communities such as Discord or Reddit which host game lobbies specifically for those who want to play against bots instead of real people.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Various Masks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many servers offer special masks that allow players to join anonymously so they don&#8217;t have to worry about their identity being revealed while playing in public lobbies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, there are also dedicated websites offering hundreds of bot lobbies that can be accessed once you&#8217;ve connected with your PS4 VPN. These websites provide detailed information about each game lobby so you can find out whether or not it&#8217;s suitable for your needs before joining.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-port-forwarding-for-gaming\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Port_Forwarding_for_Gaming\"><\/span>Port Forwarding for Gaming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Routers, by design, block some ports which is why you will have to set up a port forward to be able to play your favorite games. It also enhances your gaming experience by making your connection more stable, and oftentimes, even faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the arcane process of setting up port forwarding more convenient for gamers, PureVPN offers Port Forwarding Add-On.
