HOWTO: Bypass Xbox Live Region Locks with XP and PureVPN!

[r655321]

Hi Ebsy,

Just want to say thanks for making a task such as setting up a VPN enjoyable with your offbeat humor in the guide you posted.

I found your guide as I was searching for a solution to my problem having setting up my VPN for my Xbox 360.

I followed your guide and several others to a tee actually but still no dice on getting it to work.

The situation is this, I joined a VPN provider and was able to setup a VPN to my Vista laptop via a software download they provided.

However, when I try the diy method of setting up a VPN I can never get connected and always get a connection error, usually 619. (this isn't my main concern however as I have the software setup to rely on)

My problem is this, I can get the Vista laptop to recognize and use the VPN assigned ip address but when I try to sign in on the 360, it ALWAYS uses my original ip address. It circumvents the VPN assigned ip address. Now I've tried every possible combination to my knowledge and what I've found online on sharing, ICS, bridging but still the 360 just won't acknowledge the VPN ip. It always uses my original ip.

I'm guessing I'm overlooking something and I'm hoping there is a simple fix to this but with just this info, I'm wondering if you wouldn't happen to have any suggestions for me on how to remedy this problem?

I appreciate you taking the time to write your guide and help others that have been in the same boat as me with setting up a VPN/360.

If you need more info, let me know, I'll be happy to give you more detail to get to the bottom of this.

Thanks,

PurevpnTECH,

Thanks for the link to that guide. I've been trying the guide you suggested for the past hour or so and I still can't get the 360 to recognize the VPN connection even though the pc does... I'm on the vpn now even.

I'm at a complete loss...

hi to all

i have a problem with setting the connection. I can do all but set the local area connection on my wireless connection under sharing center. i just dont have that option. i can set it under purevpn and in my local area connection but no in my wifi. i got laptop with windows 7.

my xbox can connect to network but cant go online.

OK i got it. I created the connection from the windows setup and copied information from the purevpn server program. That gave me the option to set local area connection.

Hi,

I followed the procedures that was provided by Ebsy. I was able to start the download and when it reached 98% I signed out of XBox Live, signed back in using the VPN connection, and went to active downloads. However, the download started back to 0%. To add to that whenever I am connected using the VPN connection I get a message on sign in that some XBox Live content is unavailable and status code is 80072741. Anyone who has suggestions to resolve this kind of issue?

Hi Siawj,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused by my delayed response. Actually Mac do not offer connection sharing with VPN due to which you will not be able to share the VPN on xbox. You are suggested to configure VPN on router and it will work. Also want to update you that we recommend and support the routers having DD-WRT firmware.
