Do premium users get faster tunnels?

Playit premium gives you access to regional tunnels. Regional tunnels:

• have better routing

• are dedicated to specific world's location

• have less users using them.

So it might be faster for you, it has been proved they give 2x the latency you have between your host computer and the given datacenter, but thats also up to your isp
routing you and your internet speed. It is recommended getting playit premium and using regional tunnel, but there are also methods to get less latency, like changing routing in Agent Settings.

Is playit available for <operating system> ?

you can download playit for Windows, MacOS and Linux.
you can also build it yourself from the source code.

Does Playit work for <Application/Game> ?

Playit will work with most Games, that normally require port forwarding.
Some games will work straight away, and others will require server side configuration.
When creating a tunnel you can choose a preset for a specific game, if your game has a preset, just select it and your tunnel server should be public straight away (with default ports).
If your game isn't in the presets search for a guide on the Playit-forum, or there is a dedicated section to find which ports your game require in this website.
