| Spec score · Game Latency Reducers | 7.9 (#13) | 7.3 (#26) |
| Purpose | LightSpeed routes game traffic through a fast path using ML-based proxy selection to reduce ping. | Rocket Game Booster optimizes network routes to game servers to reduce latency and lag. |
| 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 maker says its routing algorithms can reduce latency by up to 60%. |
| Security | Clients register over a QUIC control plane and use per-packet session tokens; proxy authentication is on by default. | The maker says it uses encryption and does not read, modify, or inject game memory, code, or files. |
| Support | The project links to GitHub Discussions, bug reports, and game requests for community support. | The contact page lists email support with a response within 24 hours and 24/7 live chat. |

Rocket Game Booster
Rocket Game Booster is an Android app that routes selected game traffic through acceleration tunnels to optimize paths to game servers. It detects installed games and offers a one-tap Boost action with automatic server selection. The maker says its algorithms can reduce latency by up to 60% and accelerate any Android game installed on the phone. Traffic optimization applies only to games, not other apps. The free plan costs nothing; an optional VIP version is described without a listed price. The app uses Android VpnService. The maker says it encrypts traffic and does not read, modify, or inject game memory, code, or files. Requirements are Android 7.0 or higher, 2 GB RAM, 50 MB storage, and an internet connection; root is unnecessary. Google Play says location, personal information, and three other data types may be collected and shared, with no data deletion.
