Unable to connect to US servers since BO7 release

[pdoidy30]

I haven't been able to connect to US servers from Australia since BO7 release and then integration into Warzone. I've tried to the 7/8 step method to flush cloud and add back device and still no luck. It's been like this for over a month now.

They did implement a ping limit to prevent people using VPNs to connect to far away servers which would also impact you trying with the Geo-Filter to force servers far away. Given where you're forcing it's reasonable you might hit that limit. However, you should also disable Geo-Latency & Ping Assist when trying to force servers.

Where did you get that information?
there is always an alternative

Not sure that’s the right solution as it was working till full integration. I have those two items disabled. Any other steps to follow ?

It was here in an update to their Ricochet Anti-Cheat, I assume they're using a later version of it for BO7 so it likely still applies https://www.callofduty.com/patchnotes/2024/11/call-of-duty-bo6-warzone-season-01-patch-notes 
"Treyarch has delivered several updates to combat disruptive behavior, including:

Enhanced AFK detections to battle against account boosting 
Adjusting ping thresholds to require players play matches in their region to cut down on VPN abuse"

What was the ping you were getting to US servers?

I was usually able to connect to the West Coast servers between 150-180ms. Is there a fix for this issue ?

[Netduma Fraser]

I would say that's high enough that it's probably hitting that limit. There isn't a router reason why it isn't connecting you to those servers so it's not something we can fix necessarily, forcing servers that high also isn't the purpose of the router

just with a Windows machine and a shell script
