sigknight Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Hi, i am from Switzerland and when I start the VPN e.g. to Israel and set the geo-filter to Europe, I have pings over 130. But when I stop the VPN, the ping is 20, is that normal? For VPN I use Surfshark (OpenVPN) and the OS has the version 4.0.219) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 2 Administrators Share Posted July 2 Yes I would say this is normal, you're adding a hop to a server far away so instead of: Switzerland > Europe > Switzerland It's doing: Switzerland > Israel > Europe > Israel > Switzerland Using a VPN will increase your ping, especially if you're using a server far away. sigknight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys nailed it (regarding VPN) after this version. (oops , sorry. Read your post again and you are good) 2.)You have to route all ports (TCP/UDP: 1-65535) to specific ports only. Do not use all traffic. 3) You must add a "route-nopull" command in your ovpn file. I am from Greece. i'm connected to South Africa with hybridVPN and I'm playing on 50 ms ping central Europe servers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you perhaps have instructions for the route nopull? I'm completely new and I'm desperate...unfortunately the information from Google doesn't make me any wiser.

MoJoe90 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 short info, I set up the router and the filter worked great, then I added NordVPN as a hybrid VPN. The ping was still at 50 (completely ok)(I come from Germany, the VPN was in Algeria). after a few solo rounds of Warzone (without any problems) I wanted to invite friends to the party and to Discord. From then on the ping was at 200 and above. Does anyone have a tip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in your VPN file in the top part, between the word client and whatever the last line is before the certificate stuff just paste in route-nopull on a new line. Are you hosting the game when that happens? The game may be routing you through them to a further away server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoe90 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Thanks for the quick answer, I'll try it later. So I'm hosting the party but I can't say whether I was the host for the game at the time. I'll pay attention if it happens again Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoe90 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Good morning, I have set everything up like this and added route-nopull to the file. All problems are gone, so far it works with every country (which I have tested), except for America, where the VPN simply does not connect. I'll try it again this evening and then post the protocol, but it's still great. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoe90 Posted Saturday at 10:20 AM Share Posted Saturday at 10:20 AM I greet you 🖖 After I had some starting problems everything finally worked. Now I've even got wireguard to work properly. I had a software update yesterday and it feels like everything is running more smoothly now. This time it's not a support request, just praise. I'm super happy with the NetdumaR3, if you really sit with it for two weeks and try it out, you can really get the best out of it. In that sense, a big thank you to you and have a nice weekend ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
