This document compares and contrasts VPNs, proxies, reverse proxies, CDNs, and WTFast's GPN. It provides the following information: VPNs encrypt all network traffic and require authorization. Proxies act as intermediaries and allow open communication between machines. Reverse proxies receive and redirect all traffic with specific instructions. CDNs store content geographically close to users for high performance and availability. WTFast's GPN specializes in optimizing real-time game traffic which standard ISPs do not prioritize, reducing latency issues.

1. GPN Vs VPN

2. This document covers;
● VPNs
● Proxies
● Reverse Proxy
● CDNs
● The WTFast GPN

3. VPN stands for Virtual Private
Network
A VPN is a network of machines with
an encrypted communication
protocol. Only authorized
machines can access and de-
encrypt this information.
A VPN encrypts all traffic in and out
of your machine.
VPN in gaming: Game publishers
restrict the use of VPNs because
it hides your IP and Geolocation.
What is a VPN (Virtual Private Network)?

4. Its an intermediary communication
machine that redirects traffic to the
end point. it provides open
communication channel between
machines.
Three (3) different touch points: your
computer, the end computer/server
and the middle machine the proxy.
Proxies can be used to hide traffic as
well.
It requires a client on your computer to
communicate with the proxy.
What is a Proxy?

5. Reverse proxy is a machine
receiving all data and
redirecting the traffic with
specific instructions.
What is a Reverse Proxy?

6. CDNs act are content storage points
CDNs are setup in relation to the user/downloader
geographically, primarily for purpose of
redundancy
ie. Server goes down, traffic can be rerouted to
different server
Goal is to serve cached content to end-users with
high availability and high performance
What is a CDN (Content Delivery Network)?

7. How is WTFast Different?
WTFast is a Gamers Private Network (GPN) ®
The GPN specializes in routing and optimizing real-time online game traffic only!
Your internet service provider (ISP) determines how data travels from your computer
to a server
ISPs route traffic based on the quantity or volume of connections at the
cheapest rate
This does not take into account the actual travel time of the data or the stability
of that connection.
Therefore, real-time game data is not being prioritized which can cause latency!

8. How is WTFast Different?
When using WTFast, the GPN engine automatically redirects real-time online game
data to an optimized and reliable path to the game server
This automated optimization of the game data pathway is what makes WTFast
different than any other network improvement software on the market
WTFast can improve;
Ping speed
Fluctuations/spikes
Packet loss
Overall connection stability
Connection hops
