SR213 Max Hub - Requesting MAP-T Disable Profile for Work VPN compatibility
I can't seem to get anyone to solve this issue - chatting with agents over phone is like speaking to a brick wall.
My work PC isn't running any of the programs I need to perform my role using OpenVPN - teams etc. always crashes after a few minutes using the program. My tech leads have given me the following message to send to sky directly, but nobody appears to know how to change the right settings:
"My broadband speed is fine, but when I connect to my work VPN (OpenVPN) and then use work apps (Citrix/Teams), they freeze after a few minutes and become unusable. It works perfectly on a mobile hotspot, so it’s Sky-path related. I’ve already disabled Broadband Shield and enabled UPnP on the SR213. Please escalate to your network team to switch my line to MAP-T 1:1 / MAP-T opt-out (stop IPv4 address sharing) for VPN compatibility."
Anyone have any answers? If I can't get this resolved soon I'll need to refer this to the Ombudsman and exit my contract.

Re: SR213 Max Hub - Requesting MAP-T Disable Profile for Work VPN compatibility
Just experienced a very unhelpful and upsetting call where the agent (second person I spoke to) insisted he could not solve my issue. I expressed frustration that others at my organisation had this issue fixed, and another forum post [https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Set-Map-T-Disable-Profile/td-p/5194239] appears to indicate this issue was fixed for that user in January 2026. He informed me that, despite this, nobody from Sky could log in to the appropriate router settings for the last two years.
He kept insisting that it was a router issue, rather than what is clearly a line/network level issue relating to IPv4 address sharing with MAP-T. He also insisted that he understood the issue completely, while obviously sticking to a decision tree.
I asked to open a complaint as he wasn't being at all helpful, and he ended the call by saying he would have to arrange a call to follow-up with my complaint in two days' time, saying that "I will call you again in two days to tell you that we cannot resolve the issue".
All this was topped off by me asking to be transferred to loyalty/cancellations as the broadband service was clearly not fit for purpose, and I was informed by an automated voice telling me that nobody from sky was able to speak to me.
This experience has meant that I have been unable to perform my normal work functions, and resulted in a great deal of added stress to my daily life.
If I cannot get this resolved within the next 24 hours I will be forced to refer to the Ombudsman and demand an deadlock letter to exit my contract.
