Thanks guys, appreciate the good work!

Nevermind I'm already in lol

Hey Zippy,
I appreciate your help on this first and foremost, and as for your questions:
1. No I'm not using a Geofilter I disabled it since it doesn't work for me for some reason on this game particularly.
2. It included like 5700km so it's a good radius that shouldn't affect my search times.
3. I'm from Saudi Arabia.
4. Yes it's on Expanded.
 
I don't think it's on the router's end, it has to do with something that is built within the game since I don't have this issue with other Halos.
But I'm basically wondering if there is a trick to bypass this region lock or whatever it is, I don't really mind playing high-ping games at this point.
 

This will depend on a few factors.. One is if your using the Geo Filter? And if so how big is your radius?  What country are you from?  Those are key factors.. One easy thing to try is disable the Geo if your using it.. That should help find games
The other key factor is to make sure your on" Expanded" search in the game settings.. "Expanded" furthers your search.. "Local" search tries to keep your search smaller and lower on the ping side.. Again these settings are in the game and not in the router..
I play alot of Halo Infinite.. And I do not use the Geo.. I live in the US and have very little trouble finding games..  What playlist are you searching in?  
Thanks!
Zippy.

Zippy is the resident Halo player here so he speaks wisely. If you're going to use the Geo-Filter then you'd have to use Geo-Latency, it's just not likely to work otherwise given their changes.

That is normal behavior, it will not work without Geo-Latency. It is possible to get servers outside your radius with Geo-Latency but we are looking into why this is happening with Halo more often than not - they're one of the only games that has actively put procedures in place to prevent Geo-Filtering so it's a bit of a battle.

Sorry for the late reply, I've given you Early Access for you to try: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/56955-new-early-access-firmware-r3-dumaos-40290-geo-filter-fix/
Which has a Geo-Filter fix that might help. If not we're testing a cloud update we can get you on to try.

Hello,
the game just dropped but I can't get the geo-filter to work for some reason. It won't locate servers or anything the geofilter window is completely dead and says inactive.
I tried a factory reset too, and the problem seems to persist.
Not sure if it's even supported? maybe not the one from pc game pass?

I don't think that's possible currently, it's like YouTube which we also can't block, the ads are served on the same URL as the video/stream which makes it very hard to block on the network side. It is something we're looking into to see if it is possible though.
