Enabling IP routing/forwarding in Windows 8.1

    So.
    I need my foreign tv tuner to have access to internet with foreign IP (as they limit access to local IP only).

    My config at home local network is:
    Router: 192.168.1.254
    mask: 255.255.255.0

    My PC: 192.168.1.2
    mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.1.254

    TV tuner: 192.168.1.151
    mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.1.254


    Now what I wanted to do, is setup OpenVPN on my PC to my friend's server in the desired country, and have my TV tuner traffic through there.

    I though about setting up TV tuner config as follows:

    TV tuner: 192.168.1.151
    mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway 192.168.1.2

    So this would put the traffic from TV tuner through my PC, and then OpenVPN config would put that traffic through desired route.

    However I can't make Windows to forward traffic through it.

    I know in Linux it is enough to do:
    echo 1 > proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

    In Windows I found this:
    In registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

    And change IPEnableRouter from 0 to 1.

    But unfortunately it doesn't work.

    Any ideas?

    If you are happy it will work in Linux get a Raspberry Pi and use that. You can get a usb to ethernet adapter if you find you need two ethernet ports on the Pi.
