Cleaned up in what sense? What's the issue you're having with the DumaOS 3 version?

As in it gives you the option to allow/deny every time? It will do that, it's just part of the ping section. If the PS5 is set to a console in the Device Manager it should just add automatically.

There is one in the US but it doesn't really matter overall since it doesn't affect your game ping and is just used to ensure you've bought the game etc. If you provide the ID of it when it doesn't show as allowed we can take a look.

The hardware is 10+ years old, making 2023/4 software work on it would be very difficult and not viable either unfortunately

There isn't really anything else that could be affecting it - how did you disable QoS exactly? Do you have the PC selected on the Geo-Filter? What do you mean heavy browsing?

I don't believe it's possible for us to disable the LEDs unfortunately. We're looking into the second issue and will improve it if possible.

Port scan as well, have you disabled that one?

The Dublin server is an authentication server, not a game server so it can't be played on, the UK server in this instance will be the closest to you

Disable the protection options in Settings please and see if that resolves it

Yes in Settings > WAN > Advanced:

If for example you mean from your ISP modem/router then yes you may see that - the DNS on the router will apply to all devices connected to it but it won't always show that on the device itself.

The allow/deny option is a more permanent allow/block setting, you do not need to set this every time - if you have been doing this and therefore denying a lot of servers that will be contributing to the longer wait times. It won't be able to ping/stabilize every server either. If you're using a console it will just add automatically, if you're using a PC it will ask you what game you want to use. By the latter statement does that mean you're trying to force servers further away from you? If so that will be why it's taking longer, your ping will be higher and you've got a bigger group it has to account for/find space for. I've given you Early Access so you can try the firmware there: https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/

Using old school R1 firmware, really trying to make me rack my brain today huh! Make sure you have strict mode enabled and Ping Assist set to 0, then restart the game and try again please.

As long as the R3 is connected to an internet source via ethernet you can connect it however you wish, connect it to the box on the wall, ONT, existing ISP modem/router - whatever is easier/possible with your connection.

Make sure you do the workaround: Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client and then it will work correctly.

I mean I'm not in marketing but it's a common business practice

Super helpful, thanks a lot!

Do keep us posted with how you get on!

Thank you!

The devices won't show the DNS server change as they go through the router first, then the DNS you've set will be used so that's normal

Thank you, I'll pass it on Thank you very much, that's super helpful!

That's prioritizing now yes so that's all fine, just the Geo-Filter and Congestion Control to adjust then

Yes I quoted you to let you know you've been added https://forum.netduma.com/forum/144-netduma-r2-early-access/
