| Privacy | Anonymous aggregate telemetry is enabled by default and can be disabled; telemetry is sent over plaintext HTTP to an unauthenticated endpoint. | The privacy policy says it collects necessary information, including phone number for account access and device information for network acceleration; location is optional for node recommendations. |
| Purpose | LightSpeed routes game traffic through a fast path using ML-based proxy selection to reduce ping. | Qiyou provides game acceleration, FPS hardware optimization, party play, and a player community. |
| Routing | Its model evaluates latency, jitter, packet loss, and other network data to select a route, or the direct path when that is fastest. | The service uses routing scheduling, parallel multi-line connections, and shortest-path routing for game acceleration. |
| Support | The project links to GitHub Discussions, bug reports, and game requests for community support. | The official site lists customer service hours as 9:00–22:30 daily. |

Qiyou Game Accelerator
Qiyou Game Accelerator provides game traffic acceleration alongside FPS hardware optimization, team play, and a player community.

The service is designed for FPS, RPG, and MOBA games, with NAT optimization for P2P connections; the mobile accelerator lists support for more than 1,000 games. Mobile features include dual-route acceleration, community and team play, and new-game registration and reservations. The Mac product describes global routing and optimization for Mac games and common tools. The homepage lists Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, consoles, Steam Deck, VR devices, and router plugins. Traffic routing is game-only, and server selection is automatic. Membership plans include 33 CNY a month, 81 CNY, paid once, 150 CNY, paid once, and 278 CNY a year.
