Some gadgets use internet but you can’t set up them to use directly a VPN connection. So, how to use VPN connection on devices like Sony Play Station 3 (SPS 3), PSP, Xbox, AppleTV, Wii without a DD-WRT router?

The response is simple: you just need a Laptop with Windows 7 on it and active VPN services. If you have iMac or MacBook instead, go to this tutorial.

Just follow steps bellow.

Step 1: Set up your laptop to be like a WiFi router.

Open Command Prompt with elevate privilege.
- Click the Start button (1).
- In the search box (2), type: cmd
- In the list of results, right-click “cmd” (3), and then click “Run as administrator” (4). If you’re prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Verify if necessary drivers are installed:
- Type in Command Prompt (5): netsh wlan show drivers
- press “Enter”. If next to “Hosted Network Supported” is written “Yes” (6) then everything is ok and you can go to next step. If it says “No” then you have to install drivers for it.
- Create a WiFi network with SSID = cactusvpn and password = password:
  Type in Command Prompt (7): netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=cactusvpn key=password
Start your Wi-Fi network:
Type in Command Prompt (8): netsh wlan start hostednetwork
You should receive the following result:

If you see the message “hosted network couldn’t be started”, then your WiFi driver is outdated. Update necessary drivers, running Windows Update or downloading the latest version from official website.
Share the Wi-Fi connection:
- Go to “Open Network and Sharing Center” by right-clicking your WiFi icon (9) from the right bottom corner of your screen.
- Go to “Change adapter settings” (10).
- Right-click on the VPN connection you’ve created previously (11) and go to “Properties” (12).
- Go to “Sharing” tab (13) and check on the checkbox next to “Allow Other Network User to connect through this computer’s Internet connection” (14) and next to “Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection” (15).
Click “OK” (16) on the next window.

Step 2: Connect to VPN

Connect to CactusVPN server from your laptop.
Use the new created “cactusvpn” WiFi connection from your SPS, PSP, Xbox or AppleTV.
Please remember, your Shared WiFi connection will be disabled every time you shut down or restart your computer so, if you want to start the network again just type in command line: netsh wlan start hostednetwork
