Same as usual, unsurprisingly. I don't think even a LAN party would have a ping that low.

The in-game telemetry in MWII has gone weird since the Season 3 update yesterday. Now reporting a 1ms ping, when the day before the fastest it could ever get was 15ms. Anyone else noticed this?

Ah, so parking the issue of NAT for a moment, it turns out adding port 443 didn't work after all. Although COD was showing my preferred German VPN under Geographical Region in the in-game settings, it was actually routing traffic through my local UK server. I noticed because the latency was too low. I then did some tests with a far away VPN server in Los Angeles and got the same result (sub 20ms). When I went back to Hybring VPNing the Playstation as a whole (not specific services) the latency jumped to 200ms, so I knew the VPN was working. Tbh it's not really a massive issue. I can at least get the VPN to work, which is the most important thing. I just got to keep enabling Hybrid VPN whenever I want to play COD, and disabling it when I don't. But it would be nice if I could just get the add services feature to work. If there's another PS5 owner out there that uses Surfshark, lemme know where I'm going wrong...

Thanks for the response, @Netduma Liam. Much appreciated. Yes, I use Geofilter. I'll try disabling and see what happens. My modem is an ONT fibre modem. No wifi/routing capabilities.

Port 443 worked! Thanks @Netduma Liamand @Fuzy However, my NAT is now showing as Strict in COD. Any ideas how I might be able to change it to moderate? I've read elsewhere on the forum that an open NAT isn't possible with a VPN, but moderate would certainly be better. My UPnP is enabled.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll give port 443 on TCP a go. Yes, @kinel my VPN is Surfshark too.

I can get Hybrid VPN to VPN my entire Playstation, and this works fine with COD. However when I try to restrict Hybrid VPN to just COD, it doesn't work. COD's in-game network settings show my local UK server rather than my preferred one in Frankfurt. I'm using the ports listed on the Activision site for my console (Playstation). TCP: 3478-3480 UDP: 3074, 3478-3479 Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
