Omega Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Just wondering what changing the port for a service does on the geo filter. The geo filter wasnt working right yesterday (kept matching me with hosts outside of filter range). So i changed the default tcp 80 to udp 3074 and I had some good games. Just want to confirm whether my findings are well founded or just a placebo effect.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 We're looking into that but I'd suggest you stick with xbl or psn. If that bubbles fall outside your geo-filter please restart the router.
Omega Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 I tried restarting the router first as should always be the case when troubleshooting. However, the same problem persisted. If the changing the port method is way off please tell me, I swear you won't hurt my feelings
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 haha its not way off, its just we do a few things more complicated than that so it should work better. Are you testing the beta version by any chance?
Omega Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 haha its not way off, its just we do a few things more complicated than that so it should work better. Are you testing the beta version by any chance? I'm using version 1.02.6.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Right rebooting the router should definitely fix it. Can you try and see please?
Omega Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Right rebooting the router should definitely fix it. Can you try and see please? I actually think I fixed it, but it wasn't rebooting. I just selected a different device to clear the setting for PS4, and then reapplied the PS4 service. My theory as to why this worked was that I hit advanced and done. I think doing that messed something up. I think it's sorted now. I'm going to play a few games now. If you don't hear back you'll know it's working.

I'm back and frustrated The geo-filter seems like it's not working again. It's sending me into CTF games (which aren't very populated) very fast when setting the range to the minimum 111km. In addition, the none of the circles are expanding to show which is the host.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Oh I see thats because your on .6. If you'd like admin mode to see them I'll give it to you but I'd recommend you wait till .7 comes out very soon
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Also please please make sure you have "strict mode" enabled.
Omega Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Also please please make sure you have "strict mode" enabled. I can wait until the next release, thank you though. And, I do have strict mode enabled. I'm just stumped right now as to why I'm having such inconsistency. One game I drop a 50 bomb, and I'm like go Duma! The next I'm fighting to go positive. Rinse, repeat -__- This is in the same lobby with the same players mind you. As you can probably imagine, this induces the type of rage that gets people sent off to the psych ward But seriously though.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Ok mate sounds like you're on a stinky host by bad luck but since you can't see you can't do anything about it(i.e. deny it). If you don't mind waiting a couple of days it will be sorted very soon.

If you don't mind waiting a couple of days it will be sorted very soon. I forgot to ask. Does DPI need to be enabled to use geo-filter?
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 No it doesn't dway, its use for pre-emptive algorithm and PC game host analysis
ByMgRs Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 No it doesn't dway, its use for pre-emptive algorithm and PC game host analysis I think this might of solved my problem Iain! Thanks very much, Maybe a bug in 1.02.6 as I had the same problem
ByMgRs Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Also what does admin mode do? I was just intrigued as I was wondering if it would resolve my issues
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Hi GamerGuy, What problem did it solve? Admin mode is people who want to help improve their region by reporting info to us
Pilkerboy Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 How do I enable strict mode please I think you need to run firmware version 1.02.6. Then select Host Filtering and under Geo Filter there should be a tickbox Strict Mode.
