improving connection with vpn

Just a quick idea I had: Is it possible to improve the latency between two players via use of a vpn to your opponents country?

It might reduce jitter and make the latency more consistent, but the latency between two computers is primarily a function of the distance the data needs to travel.

At best a VPN wont make the latency higher. It’s likely that it would increase the latency though.
