They will all be in your radius yes but that doesn't guarantee they'll necessarily be under a certain ping. There are many servers clustered in the same location so they could produce different pings.
It's also possible it is mislocated on the map, if you provide the ID for the 30ms server we can check it and move it if necessary.

Oh yeh I agree about the bot lobby thing. Found my mw3 multiplayer experience to be decent since setting the vpn/geo this way.

Yes, don't trust them. Doesn't work

it works it just sucks like every other saturated no lag vpn service.

I was in this exact situation a while ago during Caldera, I bought an XR500 and already had a VPN subscription with Express. 
 
in my experience, the VPN experience that you see with the big streamers who play on PC does not reflect the experience you get on console. The reason for this I believe is there are websites out there such as No Lag VPN or SBMMOFF which they state is only compatible with PC.
What I do find in some games whilst using the VPN is that you find games much quicker, so essentially what this shows is that the VPN is scrambling SBMM and putting you into the first server that comes available.
Final thing is that if I was in a game that felt like a ‘bot lobby’, there would normally be 1 or 2 other teams that were major sweats!
My advice is manage your expectations and don’t expect to set everything up and be in bot lobbies all the time, it just doesn’t happen.

Could somebody please explain the most effective way for me to use my Express VPN subscription on my XR500 on Warzone 2 please?
I have tried connecting to India via UK and everything says connected and my location states India in game, however these bot lobbies that people talk about must be under some hidden layer than i have yet to find!
Any help much appreciated, Thanks!

I simply stayed on the price of a NordVPN subscription paid 100€ for 3 years...
I also tend to be suspicious of all services with the annotation "gaming" which is more marketing than anything else!
A VPN remains an encrypted tunnel... (gaming or not)
We might as well stay on the market leaders, cheaper, secure (real privacy protection), manageable and which don't need any marketing tricks to prove their effectiveness with thousands of servers around the world.

For what it’s worth the Warzone servers are in such a bad way at the moment that it might not even have anything to do with your set up.

Ping Heatmap needs to be updated as they change the servers quite often but it doesn't mean the server isn't there, you'll still be able to connect to it using the Geo-Filter

Yes its working now.

Could you please try resyncing the cloud in Ping Heatmap again, then send over a copy of the logs from System information -> Logs. You can download them by clicking the three-line menu in Logs then Download from there.
