Trying to connect my VPN to my PS4 console here. Doesn't work. Tried it with the PS3, doesn't work either. I'll explain my setup as thoroughly as I can.
What I have:
1 ethernet cable (they say you need a crossover cable, not really sure if mine is crossover)
VPN Service on computer - Using Zenmate VPN (it doesn't support consoles just yet,but it can be done with methods like the one I'm trying)
PS4 and PS3 of course.
So, what I do is I startup my VPN client on my PC, hook up an ethernet cable to my console and my computer together, go to Network and Sharing Center, then Change adapter settings, right click the VPN adapter, right click Properties > Sharing, then checking Allow other network users to connect through this Computer's internet connection, choose the ethernet cable adapter on the list, which is Local Area Connection then hit Apply and ok. Now the VPN profile is being shared to my ethernet cable connections (or atleast I thought), I re-dial the VPN server, go over to my console in the network settings, configuring it with the LAN cable option and testing the connection. What happens? It fails. I would expect it first try. Take note I was following all this from a youtube video, so there was a method if it failed, you could try using the OpenDNS or Google DNS, I tried both, it obtains an IP Address, but fails for everything else. What exactly am I doing wrong here? I don't exactly know all that much about crossover cables, and I'm not sure if my stash of ethernet cables contains an ethernet cable with crossover. I know that my VPN doesn't support consoles yet, but I mean, the video I watched, the guy did it with the PureVPN which supports it and it's the exact same setup sty;e, and it worked for him, someone tell me what am I doing wrong here besides the part where the VPN doesn't support PS4. The video didn't mention anything about a crossover cable though (The guy connects via ethernet, so since his laptop doesn't have 2 ethernet ports and only just has 1, he needed to use a usb ethernet adapter to connect an ethernet cable to the laptop and to the console. But im connected via wifi, so I don't need any adapters and all that.
