Netduma Alex Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Either it was a coincidence... Or there's some setting that's different between you and your friend. I need to explore what options are available on the PS4 version and see if there's anything at all that your friend could have changed that you didn't.

I think they're working on it behind the scenes now, at least I hope. I have the same issues, although not EU to US, but within the continental US I cannot block servers, it just randomly connects to whatever it wants like the GeoFilter isn't even ON. Good luck, I know it can be frustrating to buy a router with features that you know help when they will work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronmargan Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 So did you manage to play Blackout on US servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 No not yet, there was no time on Friday, and yesterday was a bank holiday. I'm going to try and do it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Okay I ran the test today. Weirdly, it didn't work, I could not connect to a game of Blackout in the US. It's weird because I then tried connecting to a game of kill confirmed to make sure it was still working, and yes it worked. I was playing with Americans. So now i'm thinking that Call of Duty must use different servers for different game types. They perhaps have a separate infrastructure for Blackout mode. One suggestion might be to join a game with your friend (so that it's a US server) and then white list that server. Then put your location in the middle of the ocean and it should only be able to connect to that one server. The other option, which might work better, is to make a note on a map of all of the games that you connect to that are US based, and see if they're all in one location. If so, you could put your radius directly over that location. We're updating the cloud data this week, so a it's possible that the mislocated servers will be fixed once that's happened. I'll let you know once it's been done so that you can flush the cloud and try again. And if it still doesn't work, we might have to do more tests to see if Blackout ever works with geo-filter.

I believe the PS4 when added as a device is 'greyed out' because you cannot choose services only. It is still VPN'd. Set it back up as a ps4 and try again. Make sure the Hybrid VPn is active as well as the Geo Filter for a few minutes, then boot the ps4 then the game and verify the in game network settings as showing the new VPN IP address.

Oh yeah fair point, I forgot to say that. When you add a console to the VPN it just sends the entire console's traffic through the VPN. Maybe we need to communicate this more clearly in the interface. BIG__DOG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if down the road we could add options to not filter console for services like Netlfix or PSN store? I don't, but some use their console for more than just gaming.

We couldn't use DPI for example for this, we could possibly use ports but may not be as reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that you can attach QoS on port 3074 of a PS4 and it will set a limit on speed in/out. Perhaps logging the connections will show more detail.

Most online gaming traffic goes through UDP, whereas most downloads and streams go through TCP. So in theory, having a UDP VPN should leave your downloads and streams untouched.

Netduma Alex Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hey @ronmargan We've just done a cloud update. I've tried it out, and it appears that there is still a mislocated server right in the middle of america, BUT there's one I can connect to right on the east coast. Add your console to the geo-filter Press FLUSH CLOUD in the side menu Put your radius over the east coast of America (see attached screenshot) Set ping assist to zero Start the game. Might take a couple of tries to get to the main menu but then should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played last night with my US friend, so i White listed some US server. Then i put the circle in the middle of the ocean, but now it is searching for game for long time and can't find.

That cloud flush message is fine, try it again and then when the message happens wait a minute and refresh the page. It will have applied. I'd remove that addition to your allow list, do you know what it was? Have you got them added to your allow list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
