# ExitLag

ExitLag is a route-optimisation tool for gaming, available through UrbanX.

## What it does

ExitLag chooses an optimised network path to the game server rather than accepting the default internet route. It can send the same traffic over several paths at once, so a packet lost on one route still arrives on another. In practice that reduces ping, jitter and packet loss to game servers — particularly international ones, where the default route is long and the default path is chosen for cost rather than latency.

## When it helps

- Games with no South African servers, where every match is played on an international server.
- Titles that route poorly from South Africa despite good local connectivity — commonly League of Legends, Fortnite, Valorant and Call of Duty.
- Connections showing loss at an international hop rather than on the local line.

## When it will not help

ExitLag optimises the path beyond your line. It cannot fix a fault on the local link: if a traceroute shows loss at the first or second hop, or the ONT reports LOS, that is a line problem and needs a support ticket, not route optimisation.
