- Free Fire Server Mexico.
- Free fire Server Thailand.
- Free fire Server Singapore.
- Free fire Server India.
- Free fire Server Vietnam.
- Free fire Server Indonesia.
- Free fire Server Brazil.

2.) VPN
When it comes to the role of VPNs in online gaming, many players have a wrong idea. Some people think that connecting to VPN increases your ping or latency. Also, it reduces your internet speed. However, that is not entirely true.
Connectivity, Speed and Latency depend on which VPN you are using and also if it is premium or not. We prefer Exit Lag VPN as it auto connects us to the best server. It not only solves the high ping problem, but it also helps with fps, packet loss and more.

Sadly, Exit Lag is not available on Mobile platforms. However, there are some alternatives like SurfShark and NordVPN that players can try to reduces ping in Free Fire. Once players have decided which VPN to use, connect to the Country that offers a Free Fire server and that’s all.
3.) Background apps
Closing the background apps will not do much when it comes to high ping issues. Though it will help you to reduce the ping by 10 to 20. As you may know, in computers, mobile or any such other device every action uses some resources. Some might use the network resource while some use other resources like memory, processor and such.
Players who have a lot of apps(especially apps like youtube, google chrome or such) opened in the background can reduce their in-game ping by closing them up.
4.) Opt for a better internet connection
The best and easiest way of reducing ping. Get a good internet connection. Now, we don’t want to say that we have some magical tutorials to solve high ping problems. As you all know, connectivity is one of the major aspects of online gaming. A good connection means a seamless gaming experience.
