I normally have a ping of 35 ms, without geofilter without vpn. Absolutely normal. When I turn on the geofilter and select the USA region, the ping doesn't change when I search for games. As if the Geofilter would not react or not work. It's difficult to show, because I'm in the Netduma settings on my laptop and I'm playing with the PS5. Is it possible that the Geofilter on the XR500 is not working properly?
