Filtering mode not working as intended on xr500?

[DKitch1984]

Hi, I play Destiny 2 and occasionally use the router for soloing strikes etc.

Everything has been working as intended for the last few weeks, until the last couple of days when I seem to be matching up with people despite setting my router to filtering mode, strict mode and host of other settings designed to block other people from joining me in a game.

Do you know why this would be? I haven't changed any of my settings. I have the location set to somewhere remote with a limited distance for other people to find me. I also have strict mode enabled.

Not sure what if anything has happened and why I'm now matching up with other players. Is it something at my end or something Bungie have done? Thanks

Geo filtering no longer works bc of the changes bungie implemented on their side. It’s been non functional on pc since Shadowkeep but with yesterday’s update for ddos protection it no longer works on Xbox

They're changed their systems so it appears you're unable to block players specifically but you should be able to force the closest servers which will still give you an advantage. This is how it works for most games.

same problem, and now how can I block people? do you have to wait for a geofilter firmware update?

One more question, how can I force servers? Thanks

[DKitch1984]

Sounds like there's nothing they can do. If you look at the forums, people have been asking for these changes on PC since March last year. Best thing to do would be ask for a refund IMO, as their product no longer does what it says it should do and I'm sure many people in these forums have bought the router specifically for one game - Destiny 2.

You're right, I bought the router to do things in solo mode, or they find a solution or I will ask for a refund since I spent € 300 just to have the geo filter function, which is wrong ....

Hanno cambiato i loro sistemi, quindi sembra che tu non sia in grado di bloccare i giocatori in modo specifico, ma dovresti essere in grado di forzare i server più vicini che ti daranno comunque un vantaggio. Funziona così per la maggior parte dei giochi.

E scusa la domanda, come si forzano i server per continuare ad usare il filtraggio?

Qualcuno è riuscito a risolvere il problema?

As they have transitioned to servers it is no longer possible to block people, that is how most games work so that's not something we can get around. Forcing servers works the same way as allowing/blocking players from certain areas. Make your radius over an area and if there is a server there it will put you on it. If that's not working we'll look into that and we should be able to fix it.

and now? I bought the router to block people to do the activities alone, practically I spent € 300 for nothing? How can you ask for a refund, because in your description it says that you can block people ... Thanks

Poiché sono passati ai server, non è più possibile bloccare le persone, è così che funziona la maggior parte dei giochi, quindi non è qualcosa che possiamo aggirare. Forzare i server funziona allo stesso modo di consentire / bloccare i giocatori da determinate aree. Crea il tuo raggio su un'area e se c'è un server lì ti metterà su esso. Se non funziona, lo esamineremo e dovremmo essere in grado di risolverlo.

Come faccio a creare un raggio nella mia zona?

That's my theory based on what people have said today, I can't be sure as I haven't tested it myself personally but I've tasked the team to do so next week. Also where are you seeing that description? I'd like to double check it. You can see the terms at netduma.com/terms

Questa è la mia teoria basata su ciò che le persone hanno detto oggi, non posso esserne sicuro perché non l'ho testato personalmente ma ho incaricato il team di farlo la prossima settimana. Inoltre dove vedi quella descrizione? Vorrei ricontrollare. Puoi consultare i termini su netduma.com/terms

Quick question but if part of the problem is steam network sockets knowing your IP address could you potentially use a VPN to hide it? And would that get around some of the changes Bungie have made if you want to block people from joining you? Netduma really needs to treat this as a priority as commercially this isn’t good if potentially a swathe of their customers can no longer use their product in the way it was advertised. They also won’t get any new business from a product that doesn’t work.

I tried using hybrid VPN as well tonight, it did not help sadly. I think it's basically game over for geo filtering for destiny.

So this will no longer work?  because of the DDoS protection they implemented?

They'd then have the VPN IP and the same thing would apply. All the have done really is change to how most games handle the network by using servers and that works with the Geo-Filter fine, we will of course test and see what is possible. Where have you seen advertising recently about how it works with D2?

Ping Destiny 2 su Ping Heatmap
Identifica un server con un ping basso
Vai al filtro geografico
Metti il tuo raggio su quel server
Cerca un gioco

Avrebbero quindi l'IP VPN e si applicherebbe la stessa cosa. Tutto ciò che è stato fatto è davvero cambiare il modo in cui la maggior parte dei giochi gestisce la rete utilizzando i server e funziona bene con il Geo-Filter, ovviamente testeremo e vedremo cosa è possibile. Dove hai visto di recente la pubblicità su come funziona con D2?

Con questo metodo funziona tuttoil geofiltro come prima?

Questo serve per ottenere server, non per bloccare i giocatori. Potrebbe funzionare, dobbiamo ancora provarlo

Come usi normalmente il Geo-Filter per filtrare il gioco? Qualunque cosa tu faccia, fallo e qualunque sia il server più vicino nel tuo raggio dovrebbe essere consentito.
