VPNs help in multiple ways. Apart from giving you access to restricted titles and content, it also improves your gaming performance. Many VPNs connect console users through dedicated P2P and gaming servers that send your traffic through an express route between data centers.

As a result, you can not only play online games better, but react faster to situations, giving you an advantage over rivals.

How to use VPN for consoles?

There are effectively two methods to do it as consoles cannot directly have VPN access. First, you can set up the VPN on your WiFi router. Second, you can set up the VPN on your PC. While the first step is easier, it will involve your entire home network to be routed through VPN, which may cause some problems for certain devices. Doing it through PC is another option, which may be longer but will leave the rest of the home network empty. So, let’s check out the first method of how to use VPN on PS5 and Xbox through the WiFi router.

1. Name of the service

2. Server address

3. Your account name/email address

4. Your password

5. A pre-shared key for encryption
