Connecting Xbox One via Mac Internet Sharing + VPN

WriteTheWrong · Mar 11, 2019

Hey everyone!

I just started using a VPN service with my computers in my home. My wife and I have to use VPNs because of confidentiality ethics for both of our jobs. We want to find a way to connect our Xbox to the Internet through a VPN as well to mask the traffic coming
in and out of the Xbox.

So far, the only two ways that seem to be possible for us is to get a VPN-enabled router (which we don't have and don't want to purchase) OR connect the Xbox to the Internet through Internet Sharing on one of our Macs. We have all the necessary hardware
and a VyprVPN subscription but now we can't get the Xbox to communicate with the MacBook.

So far, all I have seen online is that I need to enable network sharing on the MacBook and wire the Xbox in and it should work. I found an Xbox support article https://support.xbox.com/en-NZ/xbox-one/networking/connect-using-mac. I tried these steps and
it didn't help - they're probably outdated. Does anyone know what to do here? Has anyone had any luck with VPNs and Xbox at all?

Hi there,

Thanks for your post! When attempting the steps to connect to the internet using your Macintosh computer, are you receiving any errors from the console? You may want to try connecting another device using the Mac just to make sure that the connection is
functioning as it should.

Please let us know.
