I'm trying to connect my Xbox One to a ping reduction service which is a PPTP VPN. I can connect to it in Windows 8.1 without any kind of problem. Here are the settings for security tab:
Now, I bought a TP-Link TL-WR740N router and flashed a DD-WRT firmware to it so that I can connect my Xbox to this VPN via this router. Here's what I want:
+----------+ +---------+ +-----+
Internet +--> | Modem | +----> |Router | +-----> |Xbox |
| | | | | |
+----------+ +---------+ | |
+-----+
In the above picture, the router is connected to the internet via the Modem. I want to use the firmware on the router to the VPN so basically all the output from the router is connected to that VPN and has a lower ping.
Here are my configurations (click to see images):
After I reboot the router, it connects to the Internet but not the VPN. I can see this in the status tab
I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my approach or the VPN. I tried to find a free VPN for testing purpose but I didn't manage to connect to them in Windows so I don't think they're a good candidate for a test.
Also, there's a possibility that something's different about this particular VPN as I've previously had a problem sharing it but then again, I'm not sure because I haven't been able to test it with another VPN.
