Geofilter problems
Im having problems with my GEOFILTER. I can use it if I set my PC to Console but otherwise it wont populate a list. If I do that it wont let my PC connect to some websites or discord servers outside ...

When you are in Spectating Mode, nothing will be blocked. So only when you search for a game and need the filter to kick in should you switch to Filtering Mode. Then go back to Spectating Mode once you have found a match within your distance range. Does that make sense?

This approach will ensure nothing is blocked other than other players, because you will only be in blocking (filtering) when you are searching for a game.

Its working now but before it was still blocking in spectator. Maybe rebooting my PC helped. My only problem now is when someone disconnects from me, they stay populated on my map when I play Tekken. In SFV they disappear once they stop connecting. Makes it hard to figure out who I'm pinging.

Yea I think my only issues now is slow pinging and people stick on the map longer than I'd like making it hard to determine who is the connection.

It could be an auth server which makes sense why its still present. Do you have auto ping enabled, that should solve slow ping/not having to find the host to ping.
