As the heading says, has anyone actually played with this software before? Does it actually help reduce ping to game servers?

I found some users a praising it and some say it made no difference to some saying it made it worse. Just wanted to see if anyone else had any luck with this.

I gave it a go once, didn't make much of a difference to be honest... But then again, I didn't test it for very long. I normally like to tweak any settings myself, that way I know exactly what has been changed :-)

Seems like these guys do something crafty http://battleping.com

Going to give this a try tonight and see how I get on. If it can ACTUALLY cut my ping in half to US I wouldn't mind paying for that.

If it works the same as its competitors: Smoothping etc. It just tunnels the game data over a ssh tunnel to a US server. Ive found it has taken pings of ~200ms down to ~150ms
