Cdog77 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I was trying to use the Hybrid VPN, but I have an account with nolag vpn. Do I need to only have an account with pure or hidemyass for it to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2021 No you can be with any provider as long as they support OpenVPN and can provide configuration files. If you can get these from nolag then you can paste it into the Advanced section of HybridVPN to connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2021 Open the file using notepad on the PC, copy the contents then click setup on HybridVPN, click the advanced tab then enter your nolag username and password and paste the config into the box and connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you'll need to add the device you want the VPN to apply to, it does not apply to the router as a whole, leave it on Do NOT VPN these services to VPN the whole device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can choose Games Console, it is up to you whether you want to use the Geo-Filter at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdog77 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 I figured it out, but is there not a way to keep my geo location from where I live. If I live in FL but vpn to canada can I still show my geo location as FL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd play on the same servers just with way more ping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, use the VPN but have the game not think you're in that location? If so no and you'd still have a high ping regardless if you use a VPN to connect to Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inoculate Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 No lag VPN is a different VPN than most. Nolag VPN doesn't change your IP address. All it does is change your geographic location. If you do not use Geo filter alongside nolag vpn, you may get ping up to 150ms and also as low as your closest server ping. It's a toss up. If you do use geo filter with Nolag vpn, you are still showing in Canada but you'll connect to a server you pick. Because your IP address does not change, you won't experience the high ping as if you had a Canadian IP address. That's why they call it "nolag".

They're likely just changing the routing allowing you to connect to the game server with a more optimal route, this can decrease your ping depending but it won't change your geographical location. Could be wrong and if so would be interested to see how the whole thing worked, the website doesn't give much away in that regard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong and if so would be interested to see how the whole thing worked, the website doesn't give much away in that regard Nolag vpn only works for Warzone. If you use nolag, you can go to your account settings in the game, show your geo location and it'll be wherever you chose. Kenya, Argentina, New Zealand, Hawaii, India and so on but your Public IP doesn't change. So the game THINKS your in India so it tries to find you a game in that location. When it can't, it'll just throw you into a lobby where your IP location is. This is why you see people post things like "will this beat the sbmm in warzone, blah blah blah". Yes it works but it's not 100% sbmm proof. The idea behind it is to force the SBMM system to say "F it, we can't find a lobby that matches his skill level, throw him into any lobby' and the IP address forces you to connect to well..America or wherever your from. So many people do it now that the lobbies are mixed with terrible skilled players and good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 28, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 28, 2021 Your public IP must be changing in that scenario, I can't see how it wouldn't, have they got more information somewhere about how they do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 28, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 28, 2021 It is interesting, I get the routing part, though if you connected far enough away it would increase the ping. We'll see how this develops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
