geegee05 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 What is the benefit of using a VPN on a console? I know when I used a VPN on my TV it throttled down my internet speed considerably. (Can this/does this help on xbox live) I use the IPv6 so no NAT and have spectrum internet it's about 235 down and 13 up. I have done zero port forwarding since getting the xr500. I have used the geo filtering and it works pretty nicely. I have been able to play with it and connect to the servers that i want to connect to. Just trying to get all I can get out of my purchase and I know there are people smarter than I out in the world. If someone could chime in and instruct me how to get the best experience gaming I would appreciate it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thanks for posting! Sounds like you've got a pretty sweet setup there. In terms of the quality of your connection, putting your console behind a VPN provides no benefit and will only increase latency. Some users use a VPN to connect to different regions around the world to see if they can find quieter/easier lobbies, but this isn't really something DumaOS is designed for so not something I can best advise on. geegee05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geegee05 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 So.... Does the geo.filtering and the vpn practically work the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, in this application a VPN would make you appear to the game server that you are in a different location to where you're actually located, whereas Geo-filter just forces the connections you've setup yourself.
