Hello Joe,

I posted previously about having the Strict NAT settings through the EE provider.  Please see above.

Again, I note the typical answer of "Here, try this troubleshooting link..." in answer to your question.  I have spoken with EE and complained on multiple occasions.  Trust me when I say, They CANNOT fix the problem.

In the end, I ditched them and have gone to another internet provider.  I am now with Starlink and suggest you do the same.

From the very first moment of activating the Starlink and connecting my Xbox, it works amazingly well and I have never had one problem with them, unlike EE.  NAT settings are OPEN with Starlink.

Truly, EE are at the top of the list for worst providers.  I have made multiple complaints and can provide screen shots of failure to provide service.  I would lose connection on a daily basis.  They are an absolute joke.

Trust me, go somewhere else for an ISP.

All the best, let me know how you get on!

  4. Click on Change Adaptor Settings in the left sidebar.

  5. Right-click on your VPN connection (the one installed on your PC), click Properties > Sharing.

  6. Tick the box that says: Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection.

  7. Locate the Home networking connectiondrop-down menu and select your ethernet connection.

  8. Connect to the VPN server you require by using the VPN client on your PC.
