This guide installs Mudfish on an x86-64 Nobara system, configures it to route only Final Fantasy XIV traffic, and compares it against the normal ISP route.
The goal is measurement, not simply getting the lowest-looking number in a dashboard. A gaming relay can improve an inefficient ISP route, but it cannot remove the physical distance to the FFXIV data center.
- Nobara Linux on an x86-64 PC.
- FFXIV runs through Steam/Proton or another Wine-based launcher.
