Error message with XR1000 when trying to get Geo-Filter to work


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am an efootball player on consoles and I recently purchased a XR1000. I am trying to set it up to help me see what's going with the efootball servers but the geo filter doesn't seem to work on my router, I get a bunch of error messages.

my config: Gigabit Fiber -> switch -> xr1000 -> switch -> consoles (wired). Since getting the XR1000, I have 2 networks, one mesh network for the family and one just for my gaming needs, everything wired.

I can see you're using Adblocker on the web browser, disable it for the interface then refresh the page, does it work without error then?

I don't see an error message anymore 

But I don't know if it is working. I don't see the servers lighting up during matchmaking. Is that a Netduma R3 only feature? Or is my setup still not working properly

Try this:

  1. Quit the application/game/client completely
  2. Remove device from the Geo-Filter
  3. Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu
  4. Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter
  5. Set up the Geo-Filter how you like
  6. Wait 2 minutes
  7. Boot up application/game/client

Then see if it works.

That did it! Now I see what I am supposed to see. Thanks for your help! 

Great to hear that, thanks for the update. You're very welcome!

Sorry for all these questions but now that I can see the servers, I also can see that the geofiltering is not doing what it is supposed to do. If I draw polygons to exclude servers, the game connects to servers outside of my allowed zone. What am I doing wrong here?

That would be an authentication server which is why it has been allowed (has a solid white circle around it) you need to connect to that for online play. When you're actually in a game playing you should see a server within your radius

sorry I meant the yellow/orange one.

Like this one. it is outside my radius, hence the shape and color and yet I get matched with servers outside my zone constantly. The LA server is the closest to me but the one I want to avoid the most because it has a very heavy gameplay for me, not fun

I'm playing efootball, there is a 5 seconds window when you can accept the match so yeah I was accepting that match knowing it was out of range. The problem is that this server has the lowest ping so I get match there most of the time but it is the one I want to avoid because it is too congested. Basically I would like the servers outside my radius to be automatically excluded but it's not...

Presumably if you then accept the match it will then not allow you into the game? If so then I think they will be using relay servers to try and get you a match which then makes it almost impossible for us to detect the final game server location to allow/deny it

If I accept the match, I can play normally. The geofilter doesn't block the connection. That's really my issue, it's not doing what it is supposed to do. I can see on which server I am playing but it is not excluding anything. Are there some specific settings I need to use? The links for Duma OS best settings don't work anymore

Okay that's almost certainly a relay server then - it's connecting you to a server that is either inside your radius/not covered by the Geo-Filter which then connects you to the server outside the radius so it can't be blocked. There isn't really anything you can do to get around it unfortunately, maybe we can do something for these cases but it'd take a while to look into.
