- neilalexander 1y agoRouting through another country unexpectedly already makes your latency worse. Adding a VPN on top possibly worsens it again.

- vachina 1y agoThe telco is probably from Hong Kong, and using home-routed roaming, that is subscribers access the visited network through the home PDN gateway (H-PGW). When I roam with mine my IP is always from my home country. There is nothing insidious happening.
- rahimnathwani 1y agoThere are companies in Japan that provide esim connections that don't route via an overseas provider, e.g. https://www.sakuramobile.jp/japan-sim-card/local-japan-esim-vs-international-a-travelers-guide/ https://www.sakuramobile.jp/japan-sim-card/local-japan-esim-... EDIT: Last time I went to Japan, I bought an esim from https://jjesim.com/esim https://jjesim.com/esim
