https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/vi ... =3&t=16184

Edit:
Testing.

VPN "Windows as a Router mode" + raspberry + dc hardware tests >>>

SOON


VPN PPTP "Router mode [tplink]" + raspberry + dc hardware tests >>>

Success:
- Alien Front
- PBA Bowling
- The Next Tetris
- Worms
- Driving Strikers (host)
- ChuChu Rocket (!)
- Ooga Booga
- Internet Game Pack
- NFL 2K2

Moderate:
- Starlancer (players cant see the my room, but I can join other players host and works fine)

- Baseball 2K2 (works fine when I invite a player, but don't when others invites me)

- NBA 2K1/2K2 (Better if you're in a good proximity with pptp server countries US, UK, DE, AU, NL)


Original post:
A friend of mine who has an ISP with CGNAT, that is, which does not allow the correct use of DMZ and port opening, was successful using PureVPN's port forwarding service.

The most convenient way that worked for him was to use VPN over the PPTP protocol, which consists of applying the VPN to a router and so any device connected to that router is able to make use of port openings.

PPTP is an option that usually appears next to the ISP's authentication options, where PPoE is, for example. This router can be isolated in your network, under another router or modem, acting only with the Dreamcast.

We tested Alien Front and Quake3Arena without lags.

There is also many forms to use the PureVPN, like apps and pc clients.

2 years of service costs $1,95 + $0,99 (port forw.) a month, with 10 slots/devices

This is great news! Thanks for sharing!

oh nice!

after christmas we are getting rid of our dsl connection...keeping it right because it provides a landline phone...wanted that for emergencis but we are getting my sons phones for christmas..so then we will disconnect our dsl...and i'll see if i can go ahead and get this...would be nice if i can get dc fully working with all games on starlink!

what type of router did he use? also, i'm wondering if i can get a router and connect it to my wifi repeater since it has ethernet ports...and the starlink router does not..does pure vpn allow dmz?

TP-Link, but anyone compatible with PPTP should work.

Yes, you can connect the router to that repeater ethernet port, should be fine.

PureVPN DMZ need to be set inside they web site, after login. Need Port foward. Add on

You may also configure dreamcast IP inside the router.

I've also just subscribed to the service, it's working properly.

In my house I don't need it, but I bought it to share with friends and in case I'm in another location with port forwarding restrictions.

did you just apply the vpn to your router? or on your pc?
