Mudfish Node Mode - Multi Path Mode

Multi Path mode can send traffic through two Mudfish nodes instead of one. Unlike Advanced mode, it automatically optimizes the first node based on RTT (ping) measurements.

Up to three simultaneous paths can be used to reach the destination (game server). For example, packets from User U to Destination D can use these paths:

User U --+----------------------+--> Mudfish Node Z --> Destination D
         |                      |
         +--> Mudfish Node A -->+
         |                      |
         +--> Mudfish Node B -->+
  • User U → Mudfish Node Z → Destination D
  • User U → Mudfish Node A → Mudfish Node Z → Destination D
  • User U → Mudfish Node B → Mudfish Node Z → Destination D
Pay Per Traffic users

Using these paths simultaneously can increase traffic and credit usage to up to three times that of a single path. To avoid this increase, use Basic or Advanced node mode, or change to the Subscription data plan.

How to activate the feature​

  1. If Full VPN Mode is on, you need to turn it off. It cannot be mixed with the Full VPN function.

  2. Click on the item you are using and you can select a mudfish node in the 'Item Settings' menu. Among them, you can select a mudfish server to use Multi Path mode. Click the 'magnifier' icon to see which path is optimal.

    • If the user specifies the first mudfish node instead of "auto-select", the path is always fixed to be used. If you have a favorite route or a mudfish node and you want to use it always, you can set that part.

    • If the last server to be routed is set to "Auto Select" and the 'maginifier' icon is clicked, the optimal route is displayed for all relay servers.

    • If you specified the last server rather than 'Auto Select' and click the 'maginifier' icon, the optimal route result will be displayed based on the last mudfish node.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)​

Does it cost more than Basic or Advanced node mode?​

Yes, if you use the Pay Per Traffic data plan. Because packets can use up to three paths simultaneously, traffic and credit usage can be up to three times higher than with Basic or Advanced node mode.

When should I use Multi Path mode?​

Use it when you want to route traffic through two Mudfish nodes and have Mudfish automatically optimize the route as ping conditions change.

What are the advantages?​

  • It can improve RTT when a route through a single node is not optimal.
  • You can choose the two nodes yourself for more control over the route.
  • Mudfish continually measures ping while running and automatically tracks and selects the route it considers fastest and most stable.

What are the disadvantages?​

  • Routing through two nodes can increase the chance of ping spikes compared with using a single node.
  • Multi Path mode cannot be used with Full VPN mode.
  • Using multiple paths simultaneously can increase traffic usage by up to three times.

Can I control the number of multi path connections?​

Yes. Open "Setup → Program" and select the "Multi Path Mode" tab.
