RubinOT's top sorcerer stopped dying: 3 saves in 1h23 with PingArmor

Bacon Almighty is the top sorcerer on RubinOT (level 2820 as of 2026-05-12) and currently global top 2. At this level, any drop or longer lag spike means lost XP, stalled skills and hours of hunt thrown away — and at the top of the ranking, time translates directly into real money lost.

During a recent live stream on BaconTibia’s Twitch channel, he showed PingArmor running while he hunted. Over 1 hour and 23 minutes of gameplay, the app logged:

• 1 lag spike (primary connection latency above threshold)
• 2 drops handled (automatic failover to the iPhone tethering)
• 3 total saves — three DCs that simply did not happen

What each save means

Each save is a death that did not happen. The activity log in the screenshot tells the story:

• 22:34:39 — Primary: Ethernet 2 → Secondary: Iphone Renato
• 23:09:40 — Primary Ethernet 2 dropped (1 failures), using Iphone Renato
• 23:35:09 — Primary Ethernet 2 dropped (1 failures), using Iphone Renato

In each of those moments, without PingArmor the RubinOT server would have closed Bacon Almighty’s TCP session — or, at best, the character would have suffered a heavy lag spike (freeze) at the worst possible time. Both outcomes end in lost XP and, in PvP or against a heavy-damage mob, in straight-up death. With failover active, game traffic shifted to the iPhone tethering in under 2 seconds — the server never noticed the primary internet flapped.

How it works

PingArmor keeps two internet connections active on the PC at the same time (in Bacon’s setup: an Ethernet cable plus USB tethering from an iPhone). An encrypted WireGuard tunnel exits through the São Paulo relay, with specific /32 routes to RubinOT IPs.

Every 750ms, the app checks the primary connection’s latency. If it goes above threshold for 2 consecutive checks, game traffic migrates instantly to the secondary — keeping the same TCP session alive.

Full technical details: how failover works.

No more dying to the internet

Since he started using PingArmor, Bacon Almighty has not died to a connection drop. When you are competing for global ranking, each save literally translates into hours of hunt preserved.

If you play RubinOT at high level and lose XP to ISP hiccups, it’s worth a try:

• Create a free account (3-day trial, no credit card)
• Download PingArmor for Windows 10/11
• Set up a second internet (USB tethering from your phone is the easiest path)
• Connect and play normally

Thanks to Bacon for permission to share the screenshot and the story. Good luck on the way to the RubinOT global top — and may the next saves keep showing up on the dashboard.
