FastConnect mode

If this option turns on, Mudfish is working as proxy server rather than router. To turn on this option, you can set it at 'Setup → Program' menu.

How it works​

In this mode, Mudfish intercepts all incoming traffics going to the destination defined by items and mimics that Mudfish is a destination server itself.

So in a view of client, it looks like that the destination server is at very closer location within 0 ~ 2 ms.

Without FastConnect, Mudfish simply passes data to the node, which forwards it to the game server. With FastConnect, the local Mudfish program acts as the server to your game client: it acknowledges receipt and accepts more data while forwarding that data through the node to the actual server.

Games where users have reported benefits include Dungeon Fighter Online, Mabinogi, Vindictus, Blade & Soul, and Dark Ages. Other TCP-based games may also benefit.

Caveat​

  • Don't use for UDP based games (e.g. Counter Striker or League Of Legends). This option is useful for TCP based games only.

FAQ​

Does FastConnect consume more traffic or not?​

No. If my calculation is correct, it should almost same with or without FastConnect mode.

My game is TCP protocol based. Is FastConnect mode helpful?​

Yes it could. :-)

My game is UDP protocol based. Is FastConnect mode helpful?​

Not at all. I don't think you need to use this feature.

Is this mode working with Full VPN mode?​

Yes it works with Full VPN mode enabled.

Do I also need to set the connection protocol to TCP?​

No. You do not need to change the connection protocol.

Is there a video comparison?​

The Mabinogi skill casting comparison page (in Korean) includes a video comparing WTFast with Mudfish FastConnect.
