Found a Workaround for Co-Op/Online PC Gaming
So, after doing some testing I might have found a way to play online/co-op games for the PC. We all know that for some godforsaken reason the way T-Mobile has their networking forced all through IPv6...
There are many out there that offer specific VPN sites that support P2P (Proton, Windscribe, Surfshark... think even PIA offers it). Just may have to pay a premium for it.
The trick is whether those sites are in a good location so latency doesn't go off the rails, and whether the reduced MTU and processing overhead take too much of a hit on throughput.
Some additional things to keep an eye on when comparing them:
Whether they support putting the VPN in the router. That way you can use it on consoles and such.
Many offer annual plans to help cut the costs. For example, Surfshark let's you buy 2 years up front, cutting the cost something like 70% when you include free month offers that come and go as well (see youtube personalities sponsored by them that give out codes for free months).
If you aren't using it on the router, be mindful of per device limits. Some do that whole Netflix/Hulu thing where they track and limit how many devices can connect at once on a standard account. If you are trying to protect phones and such too, this could become an issue for a large family.
