I have a friend on Xbox Live who has a bridged connection so that his Xbox can get internet through his computer. He is able to use a VPN IP Address when he connects to Xbox Live. Does anyone know how I can establish this?
You should now have:
- A username / password for the VPN provider
- IP address of the VPN server you wish to connect to
Setting up the VPN:
Now we have everything we need we will set the VPN up, this tutorial will show you how to do so on Windows 7, however it should be easy to do with Windows Vista or even XP.
First click the start orb and go to Network
Click on Network and Sharing Center at the top
You can also get here by going: Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork and Sharing Center
Select setup a new connection or network
Then connect to a workplace (setup a vpn)
You then want use my internet connection (VPN)
Now enter the IP address of the VPN server you wish to use
Next you will need to enter the username / password provided by the VPN provider
Next click connect, depending on the VPN provider this will likely fail so we want to change some advanced settings of the VPN connection. To do this we want to go back in to Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork and Sharing Center and click change adaptor settings on the left.
Right click on the VPN connection and select properties
Here your VPN provider could provide you with specific settings you need to have, thise are the settings I found to work perfectly with VeryFastVPN:
Now we need to share the VPN connection to the Xbox, so in the sharing tab select “Allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection” and below select the connection that connects the Xbox to the computer.
In the example below anything connected to “Local Area Connection” will connect to the internet through the VPN once it is connected.
Now we need to connect to the VPN, back in Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork Connections double click on the VPN connection.
You should be presented with a box that has your username / password for the VPN in, if not enter it
All been well the VPN should connect
Here the VPN is connected and should also be shared to the connection the Xbox will be connected to.
If you go to Digiex IP Address Detector again your IP address should now have changed from the one you noted down earlier.
You are now set to connect to Xbox Live, all been well you can sign in to Xbox Live using the VPN.
When you are signed in to the account from the region you want to buy from, find what you want to buy and purchase as normal. You should now be able to and you will not be denied by the IP checks performed when purchasing.
What you need is a VPN account !
