Sling Media Support - Using the SlingPlayer with a VPN Connection with your Macintosh computer

Using the SlingPlayer with a VPN Connection with your Macintosh computer

If you experience interruptions while streaming using a VPN connection, most likely the culprit is within your VPN settings. By default, all Internet traffic routes through the VPN server. This also means that video streaming routes through the VPN server as well.

To avoid the interruption and inconsistent performance, bypass the VPN connection by NOT using the default gateway on remote network.

Below are the steps to take to configure your VPN connection so it does not use default gateway on remote network:

Launch the Internet Connect application from the Applications folder.
Select the VPN tab.
From the Connect menu, select Options.
Uncheck Send all traffic over VPN connection.
Click OK.
