Joh Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 hello, i use expressVPN with open VPN. This VPN is a virtual server. The physical server is in the Netherlands. I've been using this VPN for several days and in Call of Duty: Warzone I always got the correct country displayed for the geographical location. But since this morning I no longer get the country reported, only the Netherlands. I haven't changed anything. I also did a DNS leak test and it was shown to me that there was such a DNS leak. is there perhaps a connection there? thank you for any help!

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2021 You may just need to disconnect the VPN and then reconnect it if it's been on for days as it may have timed out. If not then use the VPN IP address and enter that into DNS settings on the router and it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joh Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Thank you! So I restarted everything and still get the wrong location. How can I change the DNS settings? I hope it is clear that I am not from the netherlands. in the netherlands there is only the physical server of the virtual server. So the VPN works kind of, but not properly...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2021 You can set the DNS Settings in Settings > WAN > DHCP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2021 You don't need to change any of that, just change the DNS to use the VPN IP so untick use upstream DNS, put the VPN IP in the primary field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joh Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 sorry i'm an absolute beginner. what should I enter in the DNS field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2021 So on the VPN config you're using there will be a line starting with remote and then an IP after it, so copy that IP and put it in the DNS setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joh Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 there is only "remote random". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenz Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hello Joh, unfortunately I have got the same issue since yesterday and I haven't found a solution yet. The guys from express vpn told me some virtual servers are physically in the NL and that might be the reason why, but for months this never happened. I don't know what changed yesterday. Dm on instagram (lore.piro) if you want so we can update each other if we find a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenz Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Thank and hello Fraser. They told me it is not an issue related to their VPN, we made all the tests and according to them my connection is correctly located into Egypt, it's when I connect to COD servers that it is displayed Netherlands. They are not looking into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not looking into it. Understood, likely CoD is using outdated IP data to determine the location, I doubt it will have an affect on your game experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
