I have an ISP-issued modem/router combo. I subscribe to a VPN service and use it on all my devices. However, for simplicity’s sake I’m interested in getting a VPN router. Would I be able to put the VPN router between my ISP modem/router and my devices and use it that way?
Yes you can. Just connect the vpn router from LAN port of your ISP device to WAN/internet port of the vpn router. Then connect devices to the vpn router.
Yes, easiest way is via Ethernet
You can connect the VPN router to the ISP router using an Ethernet cable, A lot of times a router will include one of these in the box
Your second option is to set up the VPN router to act as a Wi-Fi repeater, this might be useful if for some reason you want to connect the VPN router wirelessly to the main router
In this configuration, it could act as a range extender for the main router if that’s needed
in theory yes, if you can surf the web normally with the VPN app then your ISP doesnt block your VPN provider IPs, for security and privacy put the new router after the modem, i dont know if is possible, if not then disable WiFi in your isp router, and enable WiFi in the new router to be sure that all connected devices go throught the vpn connection, also change the dns in the new router and choose different from isp, there are some asus that work good with vpn, be sure to take one powerfull enough to give you good speeds in vpn connection, not all do that, also take one with WPA3 in the WiFi network
Your ISP most likely charges you rent for the Modem/Router hardware. To get that knocked off your bill permanently, look around at good modem manufacturers and then once you have picked a model you like, then just make sure it will work with your ISP. When you are ready to use it, just call the ISP to have them enable your connection to your new modem.The ISP doesn’t need to know anything else about what you do, it’s none of their business anyway. I would also strongly suggest not to get a WiFi VPN router. the WiFi processing and VPN processing should be split between different hardware devices to reduce their CPU load. So, get a wired VPN router and access points. That is the route I would go if I were you…
Hello
Im sorry to jump on . I am working in the USA, remotely and my mother is going to the hospital next Jan. I need to be in the UK for a few months. That means I need to work from the UK
"Well, simples…Just use a VPN " I hear you say. I can’t as my work uses a VPN. To get on their network, i need to use their VPN. This means I can’t use another VPN. I thought the way around this was to use a VPN in my router but apparently, that doesn’t work. Is there a way to trick their VPN to think im in another country? Please, Please help
Some routers are decent enough if you’re prepared to fork out the cash. My router has a 1.8 GHz dual core CPU, I get about 100 Mbps download through the VPN in my router. It handles the encryption fine.
$70 about double the price of a Raspberry Pi.
