ExitLag and other gaming VPN services work with the ClassicUO Web Client. Because the game runs inside a browser rather than as a standalone executable, the setup process is slightly different from a traditional game — you add the browser to ExitLag instead of a game launcher. This guide walks through the full configuration and explains how to avoid routing all of your browser traffic through the VPN.Documentation Index

Adding Chrome to ExitLag
Open ExitLag and search for Chrome
Open the ExitLag application and go to the Home tab. Use the search box to search for Chrome. Select it from the Browser category in the results.
Choose a server region
Select the server region that is geographically closest to your shard’s data centre. If you are unsure which region to pick, choose Recommended and ExitLag will select the lowest-latency route automatically.
Apply Routes
Click the Apply Routes button. Wait until ExitLag confirms that routes are active before continuing — this usually takes a few seconds.
Start Chrome after routes are active
Close Chrome completely (check the system tray to make sure no Chrome processes are running), then reopen it. ExitLag must be active with routes applied before Chrome starts — launching Chrome first and then applying routes will not work correctly.
Known Issue: IPv6 Connections
IPv6 connections may not route correctly through ExitLag. If you continue to see high latency or connection drops after following the steps above, check whether your network is using IPv6 and try disabling it at the operating system or router level as a test.
Keeping Game Traffic Separate
If you use Chrome as your primary browser, adding it to ExitLag affects every website you visit while routes are active. To avoid this, use a separate browser exclusively for the game and add that browser to ExitLag instead:- Microsoft Edge (
msedge.exe) — already installed on Windows; see the dedicated browser guide. - Chrome Beta — installs alongside your main Chrome installation without replacing it.
Troubleshooting ExitLag Connection Problems
If the game still has high latency or disconnects after configuring ExitLag, work through the following checks:- Confirm routes are applied — the ExitLag status indicator should show an active connection before you open the browser.
- Try a different region — sometimes the auto-selected region is not optimal. Try the region closest to your shard’s known server location.
- Relaunch Chrome after every route change — ExitLag injects its routing at the network driver level; Chrome must be started fresh after any change.
- Check for IPv6 — as noted above, IPv6 traffic may bypass ExitLag’s routing.
- Test without ExitLag — if the issue also occurs without ExitLag active, the problem is with your baseline connection rather than the VPN configuration. See the storage and download guide for connection troubleshooting tips.
