Is this a ban evasion measure, an anti-cheating measure or both? It makes sense as a ban evasion measure.

Meanwhile, a lot of people claim use of VPNs to gain an unfair advantage in spars and other competitive activities. For anti-cheating it makes more sense to use latency and packet loss metrics to implement restrictions on participation in competitive activities like sparring. A month or two back I was having >1000ms lag without VPN or proxies, and I wouldn't think it fun for anyone to spar against me under those conditions. I'm used to seeing 350-400ms used for restrictions on other MMOs.
