Geo filter and hybrid VPN

[x3-]

im based in EU using VPN and GEO filter to Miami in mw3/wz3. Im unable to find game it automatically send me 200ms when i use the vpn and GEO. Using only geo filter it does work. I don't understand why when using the vpn both on my pc and thru hybrid vpn i'm unable to find a game. i have used the vpn (nordVPN) before buying the router and it worked perfectly fine. Any suggestion?

Using a VPN will raise your ping so you may be hitting a ping limit and potentially they're blocking known VPN IP ranges of which Nord is a popular VPN so would be one of the first

I have a similar some what different issue on PS5/MW3, when I use Hybrid VPN (NordVPN also, while VPNing to a server within my state) I get put in games outside of the set Geo filter range. when I turn Hybrid VPN off it again finds games within the Geo filter boundaries. With Hybrid VPN on none of the game servers register in the Geo filter, with it off however its business as usual. I only know I'm not being put on servers within the Geo filter range because the ping is usually 130-160ms in game and the opponents accents are foreign or speak a different language entirely. My goal obviously is to run a VPN while also Geo filtering, as is currently I have to pick 1 over the other.

The team are looking into some functions not working properly with the VPN so hopefully we'll get it sorted. What's your need to VPN to a server in your area, would your ping not be lower/more stable by just using the Geo-Filter in this scenario?

I VPN for safety when I play Call of Duty titles like Black Ops Cold War that has known vulnerabilities.

for what i've seen most people in the top rank of Warzone uses vpn and geo fence each one at different location to get easier lobbies. While not using netduma specifically to perform the functions but i think it's the same principal.

If you are using a VPN to attempt to get easier lobbies in Warzone I doubt a place you would want to play at is in Miami. Those top ranked players VPN to places like Uganda.

Vulnerabilities in what sense? I doubt anyone would be able to access your network - especially if you haven't got the console in the DMZ
