Yeah it's unfortunate because I tend to play mostly during those evenings with my friends, but yeah if you could keep us updated that would be great, thanks

Could it be a misconfigured server on Duma's end that is somehow slipping through the filters? I'm skeptical that it functions as a genuine authenticator server because when I employ geofiltering to the US before 6 pm, the search consistently begins with a ping of less than 90ms. However, after 6 pm, the ping drops to less than 16ms, and that's when the geofilter seems to lose its effectiveness. It appears that Call of Duty attempts to place me in local servers, bypassing the geofilter restriction. Despite the geofilter preventing connections to German, French, Amsterdam, etc., servers, the system persists in attempting to connect me to these lobbies. Strangely, if it's a UK lobby, the connection is established, despite being against my geofilter restriction. This observation raises the possibility of a Duma-related issue, allowing a UK game server to function as an authenticator server.

This would make sense as around 6/7pm UK time is when I start to experience the issue, before that time I'm able to geofilter to any region such as US or Saudi and get into lobbies with no issues whatsoever, during the evenings however it allows that authentication server to bypass my geofilter selection even when I have tried to block that particular server. So in the evenings I just cannot use the geofilter at all as it starts trying to put me into local servers.

Tried that multiple times but unfortunately it doesn't work, it's strange as sometimes I can search and it puts me in the saudi lobby straight away but other times I keep getting pushed into lobbies near me

I've geofiltered to the Saudi server but when i'm searching for a match it's searching for under 20MS ping when before it always used to search straight away for under 80-90MS ping and then it used to put me in a game.

I'm experiencing the same issue with my R2... I've tried resetting the router and also completing the steps @Netduma Fraser has mentioned multiple times but it seems to be an issue with the authenticator UK server somehow bypassing the geofilter.
