VPS confusion

 

I subscribed, installed and migrated 'all' to VPS. Still my desktop shows speed as 258.64 ms while VPS shows Ping as 0.80 ms? I get messages in Journal '2024.08.07 05:55:40.182 Trades use MetaTrader VPS Hosting Service to speed up the execution: 0.84 ms via 'MQL5 New York NY4 29' instead of 249.24 ms'?

What's wrong, why is VPS not working, my trades still get executed at slower speed not VPS?

When you subscribe and use MQL5 VPS, you don't check the latency of your local MT4/5 terminal, but you should right click on your MQL5 VPS in the Navigator window >> Journal to check the MQL5 VPS ping.
