XR500 friends a couple miles away can’t join me when geo filter is on

I have to turn it off to let him join me on ps4. We also have the same internet provider.

Thank you
Chad

You need to add your friends to your allow list on the Geo-Filter. Invite them to a lobby then click their icon on the map and allow them.

Thank you I just figured that out. Can you explain to me why my friend shows up up north when he lives in Florida ?

Their IP is misclassified in our database. As it's just an individual player it won't have an affect on your use of the Geo-Filter as long as they've been added to the allow list.
