Cannot VPN some devices

Hi Just wondering, I have managed to use Hybrid VPN with some of my devices, like computers and Macs, but if trying to VPN something like an Xbox it stays shaded out and you cannot seem to do anything with it? Well the services part anyway. Does this just mean the entire xbox is being VPN'd.

  • Yes the entire Xbox is being VPN'd. We do this because we can't detect individual services on a console like a PC.

      Awesome thanks for the reply. Happy I can VPN from the router using my provider NordVPN.


      Thanks

        Hi, 

         

        Just wondering and instead of starting a new thread. Should the VPN be reconnecting automatically if it drops out.

         

        At the moment it drops connection and doesn't seem to reconnect.

         

        Thanks
