Have anyone been having problems connecting more than one PC (wired or wireless) to the OpenWeb VPN accounts? I have recently, after some trouble, been able to connect both my PC and my WiFi phone via the VPN. If anyone is struggling, I'll be happy to relate the process I used.

Hi, i am facing the same problem. i m using it in office and having serious problems sharing the connection bcoz proxy works only for surfing part...my other applications like Outlook, Skype, Yahoo msger are not working.....what u did to get it working.... KALSTER?
I'm using DDProxy but my apps dont work either... :/
This whole system is BS, to be honest. There was nothing in the terms suggesting only one PC could access the service when I signed up, and now I'm in a 3 month contract.
We shouldn't have to jump through hoops or buy a good router that supports VPN sharing just to make a service work. I'd be really glad if you could tell us a 100% working solution
thanks

Well, all I did, was assign each component of the network an address with the computer's IP being the primary one. Then I shared the VPN connection so any computer can use it. I have a seperate modem and wireless router, so I did not plug the modem into the router's wan port, but into a normal lan port. The modem is in bridged mode and the dhcp server is disabled on both the modem and the wireless router.
Regarding the vpn passthrough; you have to concede that they made no bones about it being a vpn connection. It is plainly stated as being so. And it is not as if they don't offer other non-vpn deals either. The vpn pricing is extremely competitive.
I hope this helps.

Ja they should have called it something like Openweb VPN so you would now your are going to need a VPN router to share the connection. Oh wait they did
Not everyone knows that.. I didn't. This is a consumer product not exclusively aimed at you computer deities 
There is now a clause in there explaining it, my point is that it wasn't there for noobs like me at the time that I signed the contract.
PS
The service doesn't work properly half the time anyway.

Ja but before you sign a contract it would be good idea to do your homework and find out what is possible and what not. You can actually do it without a router but you would have to know a bit networking to accomplish it.
My biggest concern is people seem to complain about any stupid thing on these forums lately and suppliers can't take these forums seriously anymore.
