AyyJet Posted March 13, 2024 Posted March 13, 2024 Hello, Just recently bought the R3 and was using the router without a VPN which allowed me to use all the functionality of the router including the geo filter which I like a lot for COD MW3. However, I've been testing VPNs that were tried and tested on the Blur Busters forums for gaming (Val, CSGO) and I have started using Cloudflare's WARP+. I know it isnt technically a VPN but it still created an interface tunnel in my Network Connections in Windows. Since I have enabled WARP+, I can no longer use Geo Filter to block the high ping lobbies. The Geo Filter doesnt detect my game activity, obviously, because I have my connection going through Cloudflare. Is there a way to combine both the software inside the R3 with the warp+ active or is that not possible with an external VPN enabled?
ChrisG82 Posted March 14, 2024 Posted March 14, 2024 No, it is not technically possible as long as the R3 is not the device that establishes the VPN connection. You set up a tunnel from your PC to another server and only send this data through it. Nobody can look into this tunnel (sense and purpose!) The R3 cannot look into it either. How is the R3 supposed to filter accordingly?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 14, 2024 Administrators Posted March 14, 2024 As above, the traffic is essentially unviewable by the router, the only way I can see in which it might work was if it was integrated on the router itself. I'll make a request for it!
AyyJet Posted March 14, 2024 Author Posted March 14, 2024 That makes sense. Thank you both for your replies. I know that integrated capability is present with my mikrotik router. I can install cloudflare warp because mikrotik has wireguard support. If that integration becomes available with the R3 I might try again. ChrisG82 and Netduma Fraser 2
