Which doesn't make sense either. You don't need a separate IP for VPN passthrough.


Sadly yes, still using PPTP, but I'm hopefully going to get that changed this month so maybe I'll tell her to wait...
Ah Shaw techs haha.

I only suggested dns changing because Shaw’s dns blocks a lot of servers (like reddit, twitters backend etc) And I thought that might be the issue. Knowing your on PPTP I can assume using the XB6 to connect to that VPN will not work, as it does not seem to have support for that protocol or L2TP as far as I know (I’m guessing here this isn’t for certain).

Like the post above mentioned. Get a new router and bridge the Shaw modem and this problem will go away.
