Windows 10: Gaming and VPN Issues

Im currently running Windows 10 Pro 64 21H1 Build 19043.899.

I have been running ExpressVPN on all my devices for some time now. Its always been great. That is untill I have started gaming again recently. I started having issues when trying to game online. Id go to online play and it would sit at matchmaking forever. Come to find out, through the gaming tab under windows settings and XBOX Live networking, it was due to the nat type being closed, and teredo being unable to qualify. Through some searching on the internet, this was due to the VPN client and its TAP adapter being installed. Only way to fix it was to uninstall ExpressVPN. Then it worked fine.

So, my question is, does anyone know how to get around this issue while still running a VPN, or know of some VPN service that works well with Windows games.

Thanks in advance.

AirVPN

In contrast to all the big names such as IPVanish, TorGuard, Hide My Ass!, PIA etc, AirVPN has been the most useful in terms of performance, cost, privacy and service.

• No torrent (or other format) throttling
• No region/server locking
• Full server stats live, with reports and repair ETAs
• Packages include complete tunneling and multiple protocols
• Can be setup for virtually any platform(including a easy to use Windows package)[also user guides exist for bespoke arrangements, such as pfSense, which I run]
• Their website/user portal is very thorough and flexible. You can build custom VPN configuration files
• Cost is extremely good for what you get
• Service is often quick and prompt
• Forums are active
• They tick all the privacy qualifications, no record keeping
