New to Sky and will have to change back if cannot resolve - unable to connect to work PPTP VPN
Unable to connect to work PPTP VPN
Have tried custom Shield settings to allow file sharing
Have tried disabling Shield fully - no luck
Have tried downgrading WiFi security from WPA3-T to WPA3 to WPA2 - no luck
Have tried a cabled connection, not over WiFi - no luck
Have tried restarting laptop and router several times
Have tried port forwarding rules, setting Port No. to 1723, protocol to TCP and port range 1-47 - no luck
Work IT support say we need Sky to allow PPTP on our connection
Not been able to contact Sky tech support to resolve
Tried calling Sky and calls drop after being on hold for a while
Need to resolve ASAP - any help greatly apprecaited
Thanks in advance!

Current advice for the Max Hub is to enable UPnP: while this doesn't directly affect VPN at all it should cause the circuit to move to 1:1 Map-T.

Hi @TimmyBGood
Thanks for the quick reply.
How do I enable UPnP? Is this on the router via the Sky App? Or on my Windows laptop?
