# DolphinBridge36/game-server-route-racer

> A free ExitLag alternative that races routes to your game server, sends only the game's UDP traffic over the fastest path, and honestly reports when no route can help. Uses Wintun split tunneling and optional community or self-hosted relays.

## Useful for

- Lower ping in an online game by routing only its UDP through a faster relay path
- Run your own free relay on Oracle Cloud's Always Free tier for your game traffic
- Check whether Wi-Fi, bufferbloat or background downloads are the real cause of lag spikes

## Why it’s here

- There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 169 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #195.
- About 23 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 10
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 56 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Latest release: v1.1.4 (2026-11-03)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
