Setting up PS4 VPN via PC

Hi, I’ve read on several websites that you can set up a VPN for your PS4 via sharing a connection with your PC. My question is, once you’ve set it up, does my PC have to be turned on the entire time to maintain the connecting or will it share it regardless of being turned on or not? Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

  1. Required to be on when vpn is required. 2) it’s a terrible idea to use a VPN on a gaming console. Want international Netflix? Use a DNS Proxy service

has to be on the entire time

Yes, you can use Windows’ Internet Connection Sharing to share your internet connection however you will need a second Ethernet port on your computer or a USB ethernet adapter to do this. You can also use 3rd party software to create a tunnel using WiFi as well. However you will need your PC on the entire time as it is Windows or the 3rd party software you will be using creating this tunnel and your PC that is connecting to the VPN service.

Alright thank you, I’ve read that ExpressVPN offers such a service, I think that one is trustworthy right? :slight_smile:

Couldn’t tell you unfortunately. Just watch out for online reviews, most are paid for endorsements. Check reddit for reviews

Alright! ExpressVPN is listed in almost every top 3 VPN-service lists, so I guess I can trust them, a dns proxy doesn’t slow down my internet speed as far as I’m aware, is that rightA?

In most cases, that is correct
