How Tunari VPN Protects the Privacy of Light of Elcardia Players

We're excited to share our partnership between Tunari VPN and Light of Elcardia, a private Lineage 2 Essence server that has brought together roughly 20,000 players since 2023. For the server's team, player privacy and connection stability aren't abstract concepts — they're part of the actual gameplay experience. This is where our interests line up: we're not selling "bypass magic," we're selling concrete, engineered data protection. Below, we lay out honestly what a VPN actually helps with — and what it doesn't.

Why Privacy Matters Specifically in Online Games

MMORPGs are environments where people spend hundreds of hours, compete over resources, and often clash with each other. In that context, an IP address stops being a harmless technical detail. It can reveal your rough location, your internet provider, and — with enough persistence — become the starting point for an attack. A player who just wants to farm in peace or run a clan usually doesn't think about this until they run into the consequences.

DDoS Attacks and Deanonymization

The most common threat facing active players is a targeted DDoS attack. The pattern is simple: an in-game conflict spills over into the real network, the attacker finds the opponent's IP through some third-party service, and knocks out their home connection right before a decisive fight. A VPN shuts this door: the outside world sees our server's IP address, not the player's home address. There's nothing left to attack directly — the real address stays hidden.

Traffic Encryption

Tunari uses AES-256-level encryption along with the modern WireGuard and VLESS protocols. That means traffic between a player's device and our server is protected, while anything in between — café Wi-Fi, a dorm network, an ISP's equipment — only ever sees an encrypted stream with no readable content. For a player, that's an extra layer of protection on open, untrusted networks.

Staying Connected When Your ISP Has Problems

Sometimes a connection to the game server drops not because of the server itself, but because of routing on a specific ISP's end — a bad path, regional network restrictions, or technical glitches. A VPN lets you build a connection through a different route and a different country — Tunari runs 14 servers across 9 countries. That often restores stable access where a direct connection was flaky. We're not promising to get around any laws here — this is purely about engineering better traffic routing and connection stability.

Payment Privacy

In-game purchases are another area where players care about confidentiality. A VPN protects the session itself: payment traffic travels through an encrypted tunnel, and anyone watching the network from outside can't see which services you're connecting to. That doesn't replace the security of the payment system itself, but it reduces the risk of data interception on an untrusted network and adds a layer of privacy to the whole payment process.

What's Behind Our Approach

We hold to a strict no-logs policy: Tunari doesn't keep records of your activity. One account covers 10 devices — your computer, phone, and tablet are all protected at once. You can pay by card, SBP, or USDT. And we make a point of not overselling what a VPN can do: it protects your connection and hides your IP, but it doesn't make a player invincible or replace common sense online.

• IP masking — protection against direct DDoS attacks and address-based deanonymization.
• AES-256 encryption — your traffic stays protected even on public networks.
• 14 servers across 9 countries — flexible routing when your connection is unstable.
• No logs — we don't store a history of your activity.
