Connects me to servers that I've blocked and are outside Geo Filter.

[J29]

Is there a reason Im connecting to servers outside my geo filter and on my block list?

I've got strict mode on and ping assist set to 0. The game will search for over 10 minutes at <200ms ping and then connect me to a blocked server outside my filter.

Please provide an uncropped screenshot of your Geo-Filter page showing what you see when this happens

First image is me loading up the game and second is when im searching. 

It keeps trying to connect me to Japan servers and will refuse to connect me to west coast even though I've blocked every Japan server possible after a long wait it forces me to play in it anyways

Which CoD are you playing specifically? Seems like it's using the server within your radius to relay you to the one in Japan. If you ping the Japan one you get/are playing on, what does the Geo-Filter show the ping as? What does the ping show in game?

Black Ops 6 

Ping is anywhere from 100-150 for both Router and Game, sometimes it shows me connecting to the dublin server which i thought was just an authentication one but ping is the same as the Japan ones and so are the player names.

The Ireland one definitely is an authentication server, though it could be mislocated on the map, if you provide the ID I can check it.

It's possible the Japan one could be authentication as well which would explain why you're getting longer waits if you're blocking all of them. Having a look at the servers, it's a mix of Google, Microsoft & Vultr, Vultr will definitely be a game server, the others could be game servers or authentication servers, it's hard to say. Delete all your blocked servers other than these:

• 15DEXDW
• 1K8U6ZI
• 1AJ48YF
• CKHXVL

These are the Vultr ones so almost certainly game servers. See if the search takes as long and if you start getting games closer to home. Also what router and firmware version are you on?

Deleted all the servers but the four you mentioned and the wait times did improve but I think that's because it connected me to the blocked servers faster. 

 

XR500 on V2.3.3.136

 

Image of my search with the Dublin server and the Japan one I connected to that's no longer blocked.

It appears to be whitelisted by us so I'll need to pass it on to the team to see if they need to be removed

Thanks and yeah most of the Japan ones are listed as "Allowed Server"

Okay that does sound like we've done it then, someone else is having the same issue so I think it probably is that. I'll pass this ID over to help getting it resolved.
