I void warranties.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); You may think that once you`ve connected to your VPN on your computer you are now safe on xbox live/PSN and protected. I used to think the same. Until I was constantly getting hit offline I first thought it was my VPN. Then I became aware you have to manually connect your VPN to your xbox. There are many benefits from doing so such include DDoS protection (Depends if your VPN offers DDoS protection try CrypticVPN here on hf.) You are also protected from being doxed from your real location. You can also access exclusive american content. Neverthless let`s move on to the actual tutorial.
What you`ll need:
WiFi Connection
Laptop with LAN port
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Ethernet Cable
If you don`t already have a VPN purchase one or download the free ones below. (Note that free VPN`s tend to be slower and don`t offer DDoS protection.)
You must login or register to view this content. (Very easy to setup.)
You must login or register to view this content. (Decent VPN)
You can purchase my personal favorite paid VPN below.
You must login or register to view this content. (500 Gbps DDoS protected, blazing fast speeds)


Tutorial:

Connect your PC to your Xbox 360/Ps3 with the LAN cable.
On the Xbox/Ps3, go to System Settings>Network then make sure that your IP and DNS settings are set to automatic. This is the Xbox default, so it should be preset if you haven't changed it.
Then go to the "Network and Sharing Center" on your PC. This is found under the start menu, utilize the search bar to find it.
In the Network and Sharing Center, click on "Manage Network Connection" in the left sidebar.
Right Click on "Local Area Connection." Then navigate to "Internet Protocol 4."

You have to Click on "Use the Following IP Address" if it isn't already set. Set IP to 192.168.0.1. Set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Leave the rest blank.

Next you must go to your VPN and select properties. How your VPN is setup may vary from my tutorial try to stay with me.If you are using one of the free VPN's I suggested above, connect to the VPN, go to the icon on the bottom right of your screen . Select "Network and Sharing Center," then select "View Status" on the VPN connection. Click on Properties, then navigate to the sharing tab.
Select the "Allow Other Computers to Connect Through This Connection" option in the sharing tab. Also change the "Home Networking Connection" to "Local Area Connection."
Then uncheck the "Establish Dial-Up Connection" and "Allow Other Network Users to Control" boxes.
Make sure that you are now connected to your wireless network, and your VPN. Almost done
Finally, "Test Network Connection" on your Ps3 and it should be all done.

Please feel free to spread this knowledge to other users also Enjoy my bros. If you have any questions feel free to pm me and I will do my best to answer you.

If you need a video or such, i will be more than glad to make one

Hi read your Article,I did have mine set up on CYBERGHOST(The Free one,Very poor speed) it worked ok.But was very slow. I purchased myself pureVPn. It wasn't the best one listed.But it had the better deal. This producers its own software in connections, It placed a VPN device in my connections. They tell me that i should set it up to PPTP and/or L2TP output, And to allow this in my router to allow it to pass through on the firewall settings. So on the VPN on my network settings, I've set it for sharing. And linked this through on my local connection, This is then linked from ethernet port to ethernet port. When i go into my PS3 setting, On easy. It never finds an IP address,It times out, If i go onto custom, Wired and do the top line only all the way through. And save settings, I test connection, It finds the IP address. But then fails on DNS error 80210102.I tried talking to VPN in live chat. But they just give me links to this ,that and the other..That aren't very helpful. They've told me to change my submask to 8 8 8 8.8 8 4 4. They've also told me to change my DNS settings to 208 67 222 222, 208 67 220 220. None of these work..Just wondering if anyone can help me who as pureVPN. and would like to help me out. Or knows someone whos had the same problems. Thanks for any help you can give/Provide. Hope to hear from you A>S<S>P.

You need to connect your PC/laptop to the router via ethernet cable. Then connect your PS3 to your PC/laptop via ethernet cable. If you only have one ethernet port on your PC/laptop than you need to purchase a "USB to Ethernet Adapter". Then on the PS3 run "Internet Connection Settings" and choose "custom" and "wired connection" and it SHOULD and WILL work.

The reason you are not able to obtain an IP when you did the Network Setting on the PS3 is because your PC/laptop is connected to WIFI, which can be a hit or miss (1 out of 20 times it will let you connect to PSN). Your PC/laptop NEEDS to be connected to your router via Ethernet cable.

Connect your PS3 to PC/laptop via Ethernet cable AND connect your PC/laptop to router via Ethernet cable and everything should work.
