How to use Mudfish VPN to fix any network issues

VPN
1

There’s more and more people complaining about not being able to log in to the game when they have a normally working internet connection. Personally BDO has some weird routing issues, I have a normal 20-30 ping but when logging in or changing character it takes forever to load. This is how I fixed it, also really cheaply I’d say, as low as 0.88$ a month. All you need is a bit of common sense.

​

First open Mudfish’s Website. http://mudfish.net

​

Sign up and then download and install the client.

​

Once installed, click on the Mudfish logo in your taskbar.

​

You can now ‘equip’ BDO as an ‘item’ that you play. Simpler terms is you add BDO to your list of game in the Mudfish list of games.

Find Black Desert in Equip Items tab. Ignore the price tag for now.

​

After you equip BDO as an item, you can click manage items and click on Black Desert to open the settings. Pick the destination server to Asia (Singapore).

Next you have to pick a Node. The ones with low RTT Std is the best, in this pic it’s LeaseWeb. Personally I’ve had little problems with OneProvider. Equip a node of your choice. Every area is different and my best settings might differ from yours. A good node is one with 0.XX RTT Std (e.g 0.50), but if you find a node that is stable then that’s fine, no need to switch.

​

​

Make sure Black Desert is enabled and you have 2 checklists which is Process and Configuration. (Ignore fastconnect, this will be for more advanced settings after you try out mudfish for free.)

After all that good stuffs you have around $0.30 of free credits which you can try to play BDO with for around 3-4 hours. Now just open up the game and play around, see if it fixes your log in problems, and general desyncs in bosses and pvp, long character load time and all that game breaking annoyances.

​

Come back later after trying Mudfish out, and it fixes all your problems.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, you’re back? You are liking Mudfish because it fixes the desyncs during Karanda, and you get almost instant character switching and no more log in problems? Hell yeah, good for you. There is some more tweaks to do.

You may or may have not have noticed you are using pay by the traffic system. Which is basically quota based. That’s cheap of course compared to WTFast and the rest, but you can go cheaper, a flat 0.88$ monthly subscription.

You can do that by going to Setup → Account → Edit Profile. And then changing Data Plan from Pay Per Traffic to Subscription.

Of course before subscribing, you need to top up first. I personally do this by installing mudfish on my phone and then buying credits using my phone credits via the Google Play Store, because I don’t have Paypal. I think the lowest option is $3, which you can use for a staggering 3 months!

After you top up, you can just reequip BDO and pay the upfront fee of $0.88 and you’re done. You have access to Mudfish for the whole month, and hopefully less network issues in BDO.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is also more tweaks that works well for me. THIS IS ENTIRELY OPTIONAL.

You can open these settings from Setup → Program.

I changed the protocol settings from UDP to TCP on all of them, and I turned on FastConnect Mode. I’m not gonna go into detail why, but BDO is kind of strange where even my windows taskbar shows it’s using TCP instead of UDP (Games usually use UDP Protocol). Doing this made me have less desyncs in general, and I don’t experience anything negative from doing so. FastConnect mode did seemingly nothing, but the manual says it’s great for games that uses TCP protocol so I just turned it on.

Post temporarily stickied for easy access, nice post :slight_smile:

iirc there was someone that asked pa if he/she can use vpn to connect to bdo, and pa said might be bannable

But the sub limits your speed. Better to use pay per traffic.

This actually works!!!
I can not thank you enough for this tip.
I have been struggling with frequent disconnects for the past couple of weeks.
I changed router, changed ISP, changed cables, tried different VPNs and nothing has worked…then I stumbled across this, Mudfish, and I thought, why not?
And it has been day and night! I disconnected once today but that was due to speed limit reached…so I changed to the maximum one with subscription and it never disconnects anymore.
Again, thank you!
You have saved countless crystals and have given me my love back for the game.
It feels so good to have a stable connection again!

PA is saying really weird stuffs lately. Such as saying you might get banned for using VPN, Teamviewer and even selling items for Pearls (Kakao allowed this). I think it’s just some kind of scare tactic in case anything goes south. Why are they banning people when it is their fault (and our ISP I guess) that has the routing issues when we can’t play the game smoothly. We are experiecing issues that PA don’t fix so we try to find a way to fix it, simple. Now they are saying crazy stuffs like banning people who are doing such as the 3 things I mentioned above, which is A LOT combined I dare say (who doesn’t use teamviewer or any remote app). I mean if they start banning people who invested months into the game for that, I really think it’s time to stop giving PA money and leave the game. They don’t even have a proper ban appeal system in place.

You don’t need more speed for an online game lol, besides it only throttles you if you download other then that you’re unhindered for speed.

Fayled is correct. You barely need any to play BDO and you are wasting money if you are using pay per traffic because it can become relatively expensive compared to the monthly sub. You won’t notice any difference with pay per traffic and the ‘limited’ monthly subscription.
