Mudfish
Mudfish Cloud VPN is a gaming-focused VPN client for selecting a route to a game server and checking whether ping and connection improve. Its product page states support for 874 games and sites. Routing options include game-only traffic, Full VPN, HTTP and SOCKS proxies, Server Chain and Multi Path Mode. A homepage comparison lists 634 dedicated servers worldwide and 1,378 free public nodes; the public nodes require no credits and have no speed limit.
The Pay Per Traffic option charges credits based on data use, counting incoming and outgoing traffic from the Mudfish node’s perspective. The listed top-up is $4.99, paid once, with a $4.99 balance shown as approximately 40.1 GB; traffic is charged at 135 KRW per 1 Gbytes, and the USD traffic balance varies with exchange rates. Users may receive a small amount of trial credit after signup and email verification, subject to restrictions. Android can route selected apps or all device traffic, while iOS routes all traffic and lacks per-app VPN. The browser extension supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Whale. Connection results depend on the user’s network environment.
