Location server geofilter not working

[N3MES1S]

hi, i recently bought a netduma xr500 and i have problems with the geofilter on call of duty.  I have tried various server locations also in America but when I go into the game I always have my usual pin, and I was wondering if something is wrong or it doesn't work(i am trying various servers for call of duty vanguard with no success, i play on xbox series x).I hope someone can help me and explain how it works thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

The first thing to do would be to follow the below guide on setting up Geo-filter. Once you've got it all setup, let us know if you're still running into the same problems.

good evening, I did all the steps but I still find myself in the European servers. I am in Italy and I wanted to try to play in other servers like the American ones and others can be done or not?

It can be done, search times will be higher as well as the ping, can you provide a full screenshot of the Geo-Filter page showing how you're trying to force a US server please?

I tried to change location to restart the router, reinsert the device but never changes anything the games are all with the same latency as if I was not using anything ...

Try this:

1. Quit the game
2. Remove device from the Geo-Filter
3. Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu
4. Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter
5. Set up the Geo-Filter how you like
6. Wait 2 minutes
7. Boot up application/game/client

Then see if it works.

I tried but nothing changes, I wanted to know if actually with the geofilter I can move to all the servers in the world as if I had a vpn or it is not possible to do this. explain to me what the geofilter is for. I spoke with a user on youtube told me that it only takes the vpn ...

The goal of Geo-filter is not to switch to any server around the world, is intended for you to ensure that you are only ever playing on local, low ping servers. If you're trying to force distant servers, the game server will likely see you've got a crazy high ping and not put you in to a game as there's probably a closer server for you.

so to play like on a server in Egypt I have to necessarily use a vpn? I thank you for your patience in answering me.

As you're in Italy, Egypt isn't too far away so you can probably get on a server there without needing to use a VPN. I wouldn't think the ping is too high.
