1. Control Panel
2. Network and Internet
3. Network and Sharing Center
4. Change adapter Settings (on the left)
5. Right click on your VPN adapter, it will normally be the 2nd one listed or the one NOT labeled “Local Area Connection”
6. Disable “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” by unclicking the check mart box and then hit OK.
7. By doing this my VPN uses IPv4 and it connects just fine to Origin.
