When Warzone is looking for a game, it has to deal with various parameters:

By using a VPN to locations far from Warzone servers, Warzone is having trouble finding games. Therefore, it has to lower the SBMM to be able to quickly find a game, which allows for easier lobbies.

A regular VPN redirects all your connections through servers abroad, which changes your IP address everywhere on the Internet. Yet, CodPlayerVPN is different from regular VPNs, and redirects only a fraction of your connection to ensure an ultra-fast connection speed.

Your location and IP address will be different only on the websites and applications whose data go through our servers, which is the case when you play Warzone.

Put another way, for some websites, like myip.com or whatismyipaddress.com, your location and IP address do not change, and that is completely normal.

Anyway, the most important thing is that your location on Warzone is correct. You can check it by going to the in-game Warzone options: Options > Account > Geographical location.

In general, it should take the same amount of time to find a game both with and without a VPN. If it takes a while to find you a game, we recommend that you try another location and check what works best for you.

Sometimes it is just the Warzone or Modern Warfare matchmaking system which takes longer to find a game.
