Setup FastestVPN on PS3/PS4/PS5

Method 1: Setup FastestVPN on PS3, PS4 or PS5 Using a WiFi Router

Note: You must set up the FastestVPN on a VPN-supported WiFi router. FastestVPN supports various kinds of routers. To find the setup guidelines, please visit our Router VPN Tutorials Page. 

We recommend jumping to the next method if you don’t see your VPN router listed on the page. Meanwhile, you can email us at [email protected] with screenshots of your router’s model name and the VPN settings from its web setup page.

Once you’ve set up the VPN on the Router, switch on your PS3/PS4/PS5, which is already connected to the WiFi. Ensure the PlayStation and router are connected to the same WiFi network. Following that, here’s a brief tutorial on how to setup the VPN on PS3/PS4/PS5:

• In the XMB Menu of PS3/PS4/PS5, go to Settings.
• Click the Network Settings tab and select Set Up Internet Connection.
• Select Use Wi-Fi.
• Select the connection method as “Easy.” Your PS3/ PS4/PS5 will now scan your wireless connection.
• Click on your Wi-Fi connection and enter the password.
• When asked, click on Do Not Use a Proxy Server.
• Finally, accept all settings with a careful review and continue for a “Test Connection.”

You’ll be connected to the Wi-Fi network that has already been configured with FastestVPN.

Method 2: Setup FastestVPN on PS3/PS4/PS5 Through the VPN Sharing

The sharing method varies for Windows and Mac. The following tutorials are divided according to the devices:
