PureVPN Question

[GavinRuneblade]

Damien helped me test and he was able to get into my game. So it looks like I am all set.

Thank you everyone for the ongoing help!

That is almost for certain a firewall error that was fixed when it was set up again when you reinstalled. If you had just tried PureVPN, I might has suspected an error in the vpn drivers being installed (often caused by anti-virus software) but with Hamachi also not working, I think you had a firewall error that is now fixed.

Good to know.

I found this thread but not so clear how they found the answer and got it working with test succede and got connected with people. Teed asking the tech support but keeps giving me the scripts lines when they just don't know how to do. I've tired hamachi and port forwarding is a pain. Can anyone give me a step by step process how they got it to work please.

You normally need to get the dedicated IP option.

Connect to that server and verify that the vpn is working (Visit a webpage using your browser).

Open Fantasy Grounds.

The external IP address should be the same as your vpn address.

Press test, if it says success then you can have people connect to your games.

Either use the alias or the vpn IP address. No need to port forward.

If you have issues, normally it is either the connection being set to public in setting (change to private) or your firewall is blocking Fantasy Grounds.

Normally you only need a vpn when you are sharing an external IP address (like in a hotel)or using a cellular connection.

or using ipv6

Otherwise www.purevpn.com and try it. They do offer money back if it does not work.

All I do is use the dedicated ip option and connect via it and then start up FG and it works well. Connection test immediately succeeds and people can use the generated alias to connect to You or your IP address (the one the vpn gives you).

That did it for me, worked well. Thank you very much for the advice!
