DJAYY Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Has anyone been able to get the Hybrid VPN feature to work on console, specifically with the specific features active? I am able to get the VPN connected, but when it searches for a match it just says it cannot connect to a data center. I can see it is VPNing my traffic when i look at my location in the COD settings. This is only when selecting all activities though. Ideally, id just want COD under the activities option to work for a better connection experience. Not sure if i need to keep changing locations. This is through IPVanish using open VPN. I tried with the geo-fence on and off and re-synced cloud. Have restarted the console and game multiple times.

DARKNESS Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Just to clarify what you are asking, are you asking if the VPN will work with the Geo-filter feature on or off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJAYY Posted November 8 Author Share Posted November 8 I'm asking if anyone has gotten the hybrid VPN feature to work with console in general. If i select all activities on my PlayStation under the hybrid VPN settings, it just endlessly searches for a match (have tried different servers/locations). If i try to just select a specific activity (Call of duty Series), it wont even search for a match and just says "Cannot connect to a data center". I know VPN services such as SBMMOFF will VPN just your Call of duty traffic to keep the connection a bit better. The mention of geo-fence was really just me stating i tried it with and without that feature active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you're selecting a server very far away then you may be hitting a ping limit preventing you getting a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKNESS Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I have tested the Hybrid VPN feature, and it works. You can check if it's enabled using the PlayStation Network browser. This may require you to use a secret method to access it. Once you're in, check if your IP address has changed, which verifies that the feature is working. You can check this on NordVPN's website or other websites. I'm a Playstation user, so I can demonstrate it if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJAYY Posted November 8 Author Share Posted November 8 Shouldn't i show that in game though when u go to the connection setting and look at your location? Shouldn't have to use the browser. I know this works for other VPNs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKNESS Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 You can absolutely do that, but I do find it to be unreliable in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 10 Administrators Share Posted November 10 You can set the ports instead which will probably be more effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJAYY Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 So for playstation i forwarded the black ops 6 ports: Playstation 4/5: TCP: 1935,3074,3478-3480 UDP: 3074,3478-3479 Add in netduma like this: Does this look right? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGASH0N Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Wouldn't you want to set the hybrid-vpn up to "policy based route" on those ports so that only matchmaking traffic is going through the VPN? I'm actually still trying to figure out how to integrate my NordVPN OpenVPN with mine. So far I am unsuccessful. My NoLagVPN file does work though.

DJAYY Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 I have it set for only those ports to filter through the hybrid-vpn, is that what you meant? I was able to integrate with IPVanish, you have to put the config in the text box and then under it use <ca> -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- (Your certificate) -----END CERTIFICATE----- </ca> Not sure if thats whats holding you up, but i got it to work using that method.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 14 Administrators Share Posted November 14 If those are the correct ports then yes the rules you've made there are correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
