Optimizing Connections for RDS Direct
Digital platforms like RDS Direct are contractually bound by network routing paths. Even if you hold an active membership, a highly anticipated match may experience buffering if your connection to the specific local network's delivery servers is suboptimal. To ensure the best connection on RDS Direct, we recommend using a reliable secure node to ensure the highest quality network route.
