Pstcrik Posted August 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Just wondering if anyone has had problems either on phones or laptops that are using VPN. There was some problems that appeared to be happening when Medallion first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortunate 2 travel Posted August 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I was able to use a VPN for emails, but the app itself wouldn’t work with the VPN on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Cruises Fann Posted August 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I have brought my laptop on several cruises since I had a few Zoom work meetings that I couldn't avoid during vacations. I didn't have any problems using a VPN. There some times it was a slow connection so I turned off video, but never had an issue logging in through a VPN.

Thanks for the data point, it's encouraging to hear that VPN use seems to be working well. Any chance you notice a performance drop when connected to the VPN vs disconnected? The connection speeds on the ships, even with MedallionNet, are not very fast, though quite usable. Do you notice any slowdown when connected, is it in any way discernable? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Jim Posted August 24, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I'm new to vpn use and medalion.net use, so, I can't say what the degradation is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonzoWCS Posted August 24, 2023 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2023 So for VPN to work onboard these are the steps we took: 1. Turn off your VPN app 2. Connect to Ship WiFi 3. Ensure you have internet 4. Once Internet established turn on VPN. If you switch devices or loose internet you must redo these steps. Used it on both the Sky and Island this summer. Hope this helps Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
