Why does VALORANT ping go up?
The route from your ISP to the game data center, the chosen region, network congestion and your home network quality can all affect latency. If the problem is routing, an alternative route may give a different result.
What should we test before connecting?
A single instant ping is not enough. Check average ping, Jitter and Packet Loss, and run the test at the time you usuallyً play. Pingura’s Network Analyzer helps you check your raw internet separately from the tunnel route.
Using Pingura for VALORANT
Choose the VALORANT game in the client, test the available routes, and pick the one that is more stable on your own internet. Selective tunneling means you do not need to send all Windows traffic into the game route.

No; Pingura supports choosing apps and games for selective tunneling.
