I'm trying to connect to a PPTP VPN (which is a ping reduction service) on my Xbox One through my PC as a gateway. Here's what I have:
- They gave me a
.pbk
file. - 2 network adapters. One (Ethernet2) connected to my Xbox and the other (Ethernet) to the modem router
- Windows 8.1, Update 1
- Xbox One
When I double-click on the .pbk
file and select Properties
and go to Sharing
tab, I don't have the option to share the connection:
Then, I tried to create the connection myself. I went to control panel, and selected "Set up a new ..." and followed. It then gave me the option to share it. I selected the options as follows Please note the 2 checkboxes are unchecked.:
On the process to do this, it gave me 2 message boxes. One which said that the user/pass is not shared for all users and the other said this:
I selected "Yes" and then connected to the VPN. It connected successfully. Now my connections looks like these:
After this I went to Xbox One. Selected "Automatic" for both IP and DNS settings but it didn't connect. Then I tried manual settings. Here's what it looks like:
But it didn't work either. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
Update
I tested the CyberGhost's VPN and shared the TAP-Windows Adapter V9
's connection and it worked perfectly. Something tells me the problem is with the mentioned VPN. But why doesn't it work?!
