gaming from australia is always pretty bad but luckily vpns help somewhat.
i wanted to setup mine but im an absolute noob when it comes to this kind of stuff.

basically i could go full vpn mode and use a random american server and hope for the best.
but id like to specify the nasomi servers if possible so i can continue to use my browsers without wasting extra traffic allowance.

here's an image of what the setup is asking for.

Have you tried playing yet and seeing how it works? I know nasomi has personally visited japan, china, and thailand and played there without issue. Or is the reason you're concerned due to metered bandwidth?

Nasomi will hardly take any bandwidth for gameplay. It peaks at 2.5 kb/s usage. Peaks.

i think you're both confused, i was just explaining how there's 2 options i have with my vpn.
one is full vpn which will tunnel everything through it and the other is directing only the nasomi traffic through it.
I can easily do full vpn but itll eat my vpn bandwidth if i want to watch netflix or whatever while i play.
hence why i want to set it up so itll just tunnel nasomi but i dont know what the nasomi server ip address are to do it.

and yeah pepsi, ive played for a couple months now but if i can improve id like to do so.

Can't you just not tunnel Nasomi through the VPN? FFXI isn't a game that depends on latency. In retail, all servers were in Japan.

There is ~400 ms latency added to everything you do in FFXI, because FFXI only processes packets every 400 ms.

I have been playing for a couple months without a vpn but the whole point of this post is I'd like to try it improving it since based on my experience it can be better than it currently is.
I understand it's far from the most ping reliant game but there' still enough occasions where it becomes an obvious annoyance.
