The issue of the  high packet loss in multiplayer / online games generated after PTA implemented a new Web Monitoring System (WMS) to restrict all Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Voice over IP (VoIP)  and are re-routed through the new Web Monitoring System (WMS) implemented by the authority itself.

Note that online games fall under that category and PTA has blocked source IP that is carrying grey traffic leading to high packet loss in online games.

Meanwhile, the most popular games have been rendered unplayable including PlayerUnknown’s Battleground (PUBG), Fortnite, DOTA, Call of Duty, Valorant and several others.
