Geo-filter and Traffic rioritization not working (no red light)
I'm on PC I have been having problems with my router for a while now as it used to wwork but now doesn't. I tried manually adding a traffic priorization service as console as I saw this worked for some people however it didn't work for me. Also my geo-filter doesn't diplay anything anymore when the game is loading up to when I am in a game all it shows is the red thing spinning the radius I selected. I'm from the UK and have it linked up to my BT wifi so british people may be more knowledgeable about this.

- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerThe Traffic Prioritization is an issue we are aware of so that is something we'll need to fix. You may be able to get it working if you put in the ports the game uses. What game are you trying to play? In the Device Manager set your PC to an Xbox or PlayStation device type and then add it back to the Geo-Filter.
Hi I'm playing and having trouble with fortnite and is it possible for you to link me the ports as I'm not sure where or what the correct ones are.
- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerThe ports for PC are TCP/UDP: 5222,5795-5847 so make a rule keeping the source ports as the default it shows (1-65535) and use the ones I've mentioned for destination. Also for Fortnite due to the way matchmaking works it will try to load you into the game before first checking if the server is available so you may get booted when it gets blocked. Some people prefer to use spectating mode, see what server they get and quit and retry until they get the one they want - can be faster doing it this way.
