I've did some adjustments for the timing. Tell me if it's better or worst.

yes this is something I also observed. I'm on a business trip in china at the moment. In my hotel I can't set any port forwarding, so I decided to use a VPN connection with port forwarding support. Sometimes I have the problem, that the connection of let's say 2 Mbit/s of my hotel network is somehow unstable and that causes on top of the high pings around 300-500ms a long time to connect to another player. Most of the time the proxy connection will be used and than I get of course a worse ping/connection 500+ms to the player. Especially if the player is on the same continent actually... but we have to connect through europe to get back to china/australia and so on...
most of the time Anaryl and me can't play for example

So maybe if you increase the time it trys to connect, it can help people on another continent than europe!?

I notice that it gives up trying to connect directly to the player quite quickly perhaps adjust the time that it trys to connect before it connects through proxy ..

Yes. But if both are australian, it would solve things.

would I be right in saying having an Australian proxy server would still result in high pings because the other player has to rout through it all the way to Australia .. be the same problem wouldn't it?

Turning it off would make you unable to connect at all.

also having this problem as well can't connect directly to the player then re routes through the proxy rejoining usually fixes it ,

this is getting really annoying I too would be interested in maybe contributing to a proxy server getting setup here in Australia or maybe theres a possibility you could have a toggled option to either have proxy enabled or disabled .

need a fix this is getting really annoying.

I have been getting the proxy message after game. Never had lag issues until very recently, so not sure what has changed.

When I host a game I get tonnes of lag to other players (700 ping to the same country). BUT when I join another host's game it is fine (ping 100).

I am also seeing the same issues, it become much worse in the last few days - two Australian players (one is host) will get the proxy between them about 2 of every 3 connection attempts.

Was there an adjustment to the timing where it is decided to use the proxy Connection?

Also, is there a possibility we could run a proxy in Australia?

A group of us had a discussion and we are happy to provide a server and cover the bandwidth costs, if it will improve our proxy problems...
