EDIT: Elite Gamer's support Discord confirmed to me that there is no runtime editing being done to the game, they only access the files to add them to the dashboard. They also support Valorant and League of Legends and Riot's Valorant has no issues with it. It seems to be safe. Updating in case someone else goes looking for this info at a later date.
I recently moved, and contracted a new internet service from Cox. Included in that service was something called [url=https://www.cox.com/residential/internet/elite-gamer.html]Elite Gamer[/url] (I know, the name is kinda cringe). They claim that they can reduce your lag by up to 32%, reduce jitter and ping spikes. Given that this service was offered to me for free and claims to support Destiny 2, I decided to try it.
When I started installing the software on my computer, I noticed something on the service's [url=https://www.cox.com/aboutus/policies/cox-elite-gamer-terms.html]Terms of Use[/url]:
[quote] In addition, you hereby grant Cox permission to remotely access your copy or version of each Supported Game installed on your device.[/quote]
It sounds a little bit weird, if you ask me. I don't know what Destiny 2 files they would access, or if the software would try to mess around with anything inside the game while running that would ultimately lead to an account ban for me.
That's why I'm asking if someone has experience with this kind of software and network routing services, and if they're worth it and safe.
Destiny 2 shows moderate NAT in settings, and I wanted to try that to improve it. UPnP is enabled on my modem, but I haven't forwarded any ports.
EDIT: The services offered by Elite Gamer seem to be identical, if not licensed and operated by [url=https://www.wtfast.com/en/games/destiny-2/]WTFast[/url]

I have it, so far I'm not impressed at least on D2. I've been getting a ton of jitter every time I land on a planet. it takes a few minutes for the service to find the optimal route before it settles back down. If I turn it off, my gameplay is fine (very very little jitter).
