Why do I see Windows SmartScreen?
The current GLO installer/client build is not Authenticode-signed.
Use Game Latency Optimizer
Install GLO Client and connect to a compatible service.
1. Install GLO Client
Game Latency Optimizer is a Windows client.
2. Connect to a server
2.1 With the official GLO service
The official GLO service uses a short-lived app link.
- Open GLO Service and sign in.
- Choose the game and press Connect.
- The website opens GLO through a one-time link.
- Review the game and provider source, then confirm.
2.2 With a compatible self-hosted service
A self-hosted provider may use URI, Paste, or JSON Import.
Trust third-party services carefully
GLO does not certify or guarantee third-party services.
Paste or import a portable config
Use Paste config or Import JSON inside the self-hosted connection flow.

Frequently asked questions
Why does GLO ask for Administrator permission?
GLO only elevates the network worker used for routing.
Why does the GLO service contain ads?
Rewarded ads help support the free relay infrastructure.
