The VPN isn't the problem, it's the use of two devices at once to give an unfair advantage. Of all people to cry about any sort of delay, artificial or not, it wouldn't be Thallen, or anyone in Alumni for that matter. This is why you see us often agreeing on a subject such as this, because none of us complain when we lose to something aside from legitimate cheating (use of multiple devices at once, speedhacking, invincibility, health hack, etc).
