Hello.
Has anyone gotten NordVPN to work for warzone? When searching for a game it just sits at “searching for a match <XXX ping” forever. XXX just depends what server I try to connect to. I’ve tried changing DNS servers, Protocol types, different VPN servers in different countries, nothing seems to work.
If anyone has got it working could you please share the specifics of how you have it setup? Country and server#, protocol type, etc? Thanks so much!
Before playing an online game, I reset the vpn to the fastest server (UK) every time and then hit play. done it for CS, warzone, overwatch. I get the occasional latency spike…but usually its decent. I accepted it as the cost of having a vpn on at all times if I’m honest.
I don’t think the DNS stuff affects it. Mine is set to Cloudflare and never seen any issues with it.
Cybersec is off and whatever is the default protocol. I remember switching from nordlynx to OpenVpn when i first got nord, but i dont see that option anymore, so i assume they’ve got a default option. not sure which one they are using.
I’ve tried playing Warzone with NordVPN and encountered the same issue as you, a never ending quest to find a game.
What seems to work is www.nolagvpn.com
They use OpenVPN, and they don’t really change your location itself. If you Google info on your IP address after connecting to one of their servers, it still shows your real IP address and location. But if you launch Warzone and then go into settings, the game gets fooled into displaying whatever location you chose from NoLag (with your real IP address shown again).
I don’t really know how they do this. Maybe they’ve identified specific data Warzone transfer back and forth, and only route that through their servers, thus maintaining your real IP and not giving a significant lag.
I’m hoping NordVPN does something similar and gives gamers the option to reroute only game location data in future updates so we could change our locations and get lobbies from different countries.
Nord VPN doesnt do anything good for warzone.
You need to get NoLag VPN which is specifically made for Warzone
It does work. Check this out, they explain how to do it properly here: Warzone VPN Guide: How to Get Bot Lobbies in Warzone!
I see. I can make it work if I pick a server that’s right by my physical location but I would like to use it to connect to other regions which is where it seems to be impossible to make it work. Thanks for your input though.
I considered Nolagvpn but to be honest companies like that sketch me out. They shouldn’t even call themselves a VPN they are basically just a cheat maker that specifically spoofs your location to Warzone. Installing software to my computer from a company like that doesn’t seem worth the risk to me. I really hope a reputable VPN provider can provide a similar service at some point.
