1. Open the ExitLag software on your PC
Ensure the application is installed and open. The feature is integrated into the platform and available for free to all users.

Now you select directly the server you want to test, instead of just a generic region. This ensures much more accurate results for your choice.
5. Start the ping test
With one click, the measurement is performed in real-time between your device and the chosen server, considering your current connection (cable or Wi-Fi).
6. Analyze the results
Results appear in milliseconds (ms), automatically sorted from best to worst ping. You can also reorganize the view alphabetically, if you prefer.
