arky_4 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi, Is it possible to install this on RX500? I can install directly on the devices but wondered if can add to the router. There only appears to be a couple of options under Hybrid VPN. Also is there much benefit in having it on the PS4? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I used it on R1 DumaOS with no problems so should be fine on the XR500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arky_4 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Yeah it looked like there was only two options available? hidemyass and purevpn. I'm sure these are okay but I want to use one which has more servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 27, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 27, 2020 You can use it, all you need to do is obtain the OpenVPN configuration file from Nord and then you can add it to the Advanced section when trying to make the VPN connection.

arky_4 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Thanks Fraser I've managed to get the list from Nord. Would you go UDP or TCP? do I need to alter anything other than upload the config file? Is this likely to improve my game time on the PS4? Just wondering if its worth doing or just use on the individual devices instead. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 27, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 27, 2020 It really doesn't matter regarding the protocol as you'll still get TCP/UDP packets but if I were to recommend one then UDP. It should just be the case of copying the file in (sometimes you have to combine a few files into one) and entering you Nord user/password. It's unlikely to improve your game experience as you're adding hops and latency in most cases but some people swear by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I've tried gaming over a VPN a few times... its never a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arky_4 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 In that case I might give it a miss! might not be worth the effort Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 If your ping is poo, then it 'might' help... but since you're in the UK I see, you'll already have a good ping so can't see it doing anything but causing you problems when gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
