1. Using VPN to get lag against people with lag cannot be unfair. Both players have the same connection then. (fair)
2. Using VPN to get lag against people without lag is an unfair advantage. (advantage)
3. Not using VPN against laggers. (disadvantage)
4. Not using VPN against people with perfect connection. (fair)
First solution: There are only players with VPN or natural lag (all matches are fair then) (all 1)
Second solution: All players have perfect connection (all matches are fair then) (all 4)
Third solution: You only use VPN against laggers.
Second solution is not possible at the moment because there are no lichess servers all over the world.
Third solution is hardly possible because you would have to switch on/off all the time and even 4/4 connection can be very laggy.
I don't see any other solution if you wanna have fair competition for all games. Do you have another solution?
