Possibly. I'm not going to search that as I fully expect I'd
regret it.

Use 12ft.io <http://12ft.io> for paywalls - I don't have one
but it may be an adblocker.
No that's not me. Most of the games I play are from 1999-2005
so it only needs a modern potato to run with full graphics.

"Bunch of IP" is probably the 15 other players in
his 16 player game. If it's AWS they're probably
masquerading it for obvious security reasons.

I assume you don’t mean if the server is in
Virginia, tell the customer to move to Virginia?
FWIW, I torched the customer’s traffic trying
to determine where the server was, and saw a
bunch of IP addresses communicating with his
gaming PC. I took the one with the most
traffic, and ping time to it was around 10 ms,
but rDNS was
blahblahblah.awsglobalaccelerator.com
<http://blahblahblah.awsglobalaccelerator.com>
I think. So AWS routes the traffic across a
private network supposedly to improve performance?

There's no one ping to rule them all, but
generally it's the latency of a game packet
from gamer to host and back. It could be a
dedicated server or a peer to peer game. The
latter is more common (cheap bastards).
The #1 thing you can do to reduce latency is
move closer to the server.

What is the ping time displayed in
some games? Someone will tell me it’s
like 200 ms, but speedtest.net
<http://speedtest.net> reports 15, and
a command line ping reports 13 min, 15
avg, 20 max.
I don’t know what to do with the
numbers they quote from the game, they
don’t correlate to anything I can measure.
