Using Ping Assist Strictly

[Moofda]

Can you not do this with duma 4.0 anymore? I did the ol put the home in the ocean and just activate ping assist. It only works with Geo Latency enabled. If I don't have Geo Latency enabled, it will show all servers as blocked trying to just use Ping Assist. However, with Geo Latency enabled it will put me in games pretty much anywhere well outside the defined Max Ping in Ping Assist.  It seems that the home location in the ocean is overriding any use of Ping Assist in this manner. I'm on PC Gamepass with the PC set as Games Console in device manager.

So, I forgot I had an active wireguard VPN for my PC under Hybrid VPN. It was a server in my home state and I was just testing how the Hybrid VPN worked. I disabled the VPN profile and then it worked fine. So I guess with hybrid vpn active, you can't use strictly ping assist? Thank you.

You can but of course with the VPN changes the game has made they're actively trying to prevent people from using them so that's probably why it didn't work correctly

The open vpn configuration worked fine through the hybrid vpn section of duma os, just not the wireguard. I was doing it simply to test the function, it worked fine on my r1 for both configs. I have a proton vpn client for windows though, so when I want to use wireguard profiles that works just fine, so no worries meow. 

I was testing a wireguard vpn server through dumaos in the same state as me and nearly the same city, but yes you are right, they are trying to mitigate people using vpns to enter very distant servers (ping wise).
