Cannot connect to most EU community servers in Valve Games

Having issues with connecting to most if not all EU community servers in CS2 and even other games. I am using a XR1000v2 and its firmware is upto date, and strict mode on geo filter is already disabled. I dont have this issue with my other networks, and i cannot find out how to disable this blocking of connections. The response the server feeds back, is App ID is not specified. The latency check also fails.

  • so ive found the solution. recently a online safety act was passed in the uk, which is interfering with the connection of certain ips which can only be bypassed via vpn etc.

      At the top of the page where you've added your device switch Filtering off/switch to Spectating Mode or just delete the device you've added there
