I think this might be placebo for you, Geofiltering to countries this close and same timezone won't do much against SBMM.

These are the matchmaking ports and Geo Ports these are split into different ports split in UDP and TCP

These are ports used through out all devices on call of duty servers. MW19 and Warzone port forwarding seems to work on MW2

It is an hassle, but rebooting should do the work. Make sure the VPN config files are set before rebooting, this might help.

If they are lagging and not you this is even more beneficial. What do you mean by it ran alot worse?

This tool makes sure your matchmaking traffic gets forwarded through the vpn

Also if you have issues you can upload your VPN config file to codvpn works for Nord and other like Surfshark.

I don't India isn't the place I VPN towards, I tend to use low populated areas.

I still get decent lobbies using this method its not patched.

I see alot of posts recently of people not being able to or not knowing how to connect to a VPN. This will work for PC and Console. Step 1: head over to your Hybrid VPN Tab and add device. Step 2: add service (if on console make sure to set device type to computer in the device manager tab) and enter these ports: UDP source: start 1 end 65535 destination start 3074 end 3074 also add the TCP source: start 1 end 65535 destination start 443 end 443 Step 3: Enable VPN setup, click on VPN setup and guide to Advanced. Enter your VPN details such as Username, Pasword and the text inside your config file. Step 4: Head over to your game (in this case Cod MW2) and head over to net work info to check if the VPN works. I live in Europe not India as the game states, we can conclude it works.

This game is brand new give the Devs some time to update. It always has been working perfectly fine in the past.
