賢いゲーマーがプライバシーとパフォーマンスのために VPN に頼る理由

2025 年 1 月 21 日 By ヨハン・カーティス コメントはありません 5 minutes

Security, speed, and privacy are absolutely crucial in the online gaming industry, and in fact, it would be easy to argue that nothing is more important. In an industry that’s growing by the day, more and more intelligent players are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for an improved gaming session. 

Why? Because VPNs bring a wide range of advantages to the virtual table, such as data protection and network acceleration. Here’s a breakdown of why the more savvy players on both console and casino games rely on VPNs.

強化されたプライバシーとセキュリティ

Players are normally asked to give out personal details like their email address, phone number, potentially, where they live, and even payment options when engaging in online gaming. It’s also the case that certain gaming platforms and online casinos are prone to cyberattacks from hackers who take advantage of these kinds of weaknesses.

By encrypting your internet connection, a VPN protects your data, hides your identity from cybercriminals, and helps to prevent identity theft and phishing threats. This additional level of security is incredibly important in enhancing the safety of players who are involved in continuous transactions like buying accessories within games or playing at online casinos.

VPN: 賢いカジノプレイヤー向け

VPN対応カジノの例をいくつか挙げます こちら 特定のタイプのゲーマーを引き付けるために、この技術に対するオープンさを USP として掲げている企業もあります。この特定のプロファイルでは、世界中からアクセスできるサイトが好まれますが、それはプライバシーや地理的制限を慎重に回避することだけではありません。 

It’s also about getting access to games. In the same way that certain streaming services have content licensing for specific shows in specific regions, casino game developers also have similar setups when it comes to their content. By using a virtual private network, casino players can bypass these restrictions and play their favorite games wherever they are in the world. A VPN allows players to bypass these restrictions by connecting to servers in different countries, effectively changing their virtual location. This also enables participation in global events in both the console and casino gaming spheres, and the ability to join communities from across the world.

Last but certainly not least, in the world of cryptocurrencies, where a certain libertarian utopianism is espoused by the pioneers and echoed by the enthusiasts, a VPN is like the ultimate ‘add-on’. Players on these Web3-oriented sites feel safe from prying eyes and free to game and gamble as they wish without the restrictions typically associated with traditional fiat-focused casinos of perhaps a different generation.

最適化されたオンライン取引

In-game purchases and related transactions, like those on online gaming platforms and casinos too, require secure environments. VPNs provide an extra layer of encryption, ensuring financial details remain safe. For players who like to enjoy anonymity on their favorite casinos, using a VPN offers protection when transferring funds or withdrawing winnings, ensuring fast and secure transactions. This makes it a valuable tool for any player who’s concerned about their financial peace of mind.

Using crypto is another way of optimizing your online transactions to be more secure in the face of cybercriminal attacks. Although publicly available ledgers, blockchains are ‘unhackable’, with the only way to steal a user’s funds being possible through password theft or having a copy of their seed phrase. A seed phrase is a 12 or 16-word phrase that crypto users are advised not to make any digital copies of and to only have in handwritten format.

Combining a VPN with the use of digital money is a very good way to keep on top of online cybercriminality.

DDoS攻撃に対する保護

Competitive gaming, particularly in tournaments and high-stakes environments—applying to both the traditional gaming as well as online casino space— can attract bad-faith actors. Awareness is required regarding malicious cyber criminals posing as legitimate players who are only there to obtain players’ personal details for nefarious purposes. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a common threat, designed to overwhelm a gamer’s network and disrupt play.

VPN は、実際の IP アドレスを隠し、トラフィックを安全なサーバーに再ルーティングすることで、ゲーマーを DDoS 攻撃から保護します。これにより、標的型攻撃を受けてもゲームが中断されることがなくなります。

ピングとラグの削減

優れたゲーム体験も、高い ping と遅延時間により、すぐに悪くなることがあります。一部の VPN プロバイダーは暗号化の結果としてインターネット接続が遅くなる傾向がありますが、トップレベルのプロバイダーはデバイスの接続状態を実際に向上させることができます。

Gamers may experience low latency and ping by connecting to a server that’s closer to them. Furthermore, VPNs can prevent ISP throttling, which is the deliberate slowing down of your internet connection by the service provider while using high bandwidth consumption applications such as gaming. As ‘unlimited’ data usage becomes a more common package to have, this is less of an issue than it perhaps was a few years ago, but nevertheless, it’s something to be aware of.

公共Wi-Fiでより安全にゲームを楽しむ

公共の Wi-Fi ネットワーク (カフェや空港などにあるもの) は便利ですが、安全ではありません。これらのネットワークを通じて、プレイヤーは簡単にハッキングされ、データ侵害を受ける可能性があります。

VPN は、信頼できないネットワーク上でも安全な接続を確立し、ゲーマーがどこにいても安全にプレイできるようにします。これは、外出先で頻繁にプレイするモバイルおよびポータブル コンソール ゲーマーにとって特に便利です。

まとめ

プライバシーを強化し、安全にプレイし、さらに高速化するために、オンライン カジノとオンライン マルチプレイヤー機能を備えたコンソールの両方で賢いプレイヤーは、VPN を利用するのが有益だと感じるかもしれません。VPN を受け入れているカジノは多数存在し、これらのプライベート ネットワークの機能と利点を探しているプレイヤーにとって理想的な目的地として特に宣伝されています。 

With these networks, gamers can achieve many things, such as protecting their personal information and evading regional limitations, while also helping them with some peripheral issues like reducing lag or even preventing DDoS attacks.
