Just want to be clear here. You need a VPN ROUTER, and NOT a VPN in a Router. Most commercial routers include a VPN feature. You don't want that!!!! It just encrypts to the router and your public IP address is still visible.

@@1984-f7q You put a VPN "Client"? Or VPN "Server"? You should not put a VPN server on your router for privacy. You can do it but it's for remote access of your LAN and not for privacy
Great info. The average computer or cell phone user has no idea about much of the technology involved. I can get quite confusing very quickly. I appreciate these videos.
This is from india so we will have to search for a vpn router and services here! I think Rob's views are genuine and though I'm not a novice, internet matters can be mentally challenging. Most of us have to make a dash for a new computer and have to trust the seller help with setup! Pressure for cashless transactions is mounting and most senior citizens will find it difficult to buy a new computer and face a new operating system with prompts not easily understood. As if covid 19 was not bad enough! Thanks for your inspiring videos!
I think, it is the vpn should have a time changing to the same region it connect to otherwise it is not foolproof, I have seen that almost all platform automatically detect based on the timezone and not to the ip address.
Rob, in my network I use a Smoothwall Express router which has VPN connection capability. All of our WiFi in the network is done via WiFi access point and therefore all using the router. If I get a VPN account and activate the subscription on my router, I believe all the Internet traffic will go through the VPN connection and therefore safe from data mining. Is my assumption correct or have I left some open holes in my network? Thanks, AG
I share an internet connection with four other separate parties, renting rooms/house/duplex. We have one router between 5, sometimes up to distinct 7 parties. Each of us with one to three or four devices. The semi-permanent IP address assigned by the ISP, that youre talking about, is associated with the router, itself, is it not? Im curious about the level of anonymity those in my household have. Is it the case that 5-7 disparate individuals are being profiled as one, thus confusing the data collectors? Doesn't my current arrangement improve my anonymity, much like a VPN? If not - if individual profiling can still be done despite a shared IP - then disclosing that IP address by itself isnt really the issue, is it?
So without a VPN router having a VPN (service) is actually just a waste of money. What about when you are mobile and use a smart phone which is not in range of the VPN router?
A VPN router is = a hardware VPN, a VPN service is = soft VPN, their function are the same. The only advantage of hardware VPN is that you would not forget to open VPN when you connect to internet you. The disadvantage of hardware VPN is when you want to change the IP or VPN server, you need login to the router and change
I should have given more details. I have a VPN service. I like how you explained about home protection, no matter who uses it or what they may have or be using. I'd like to know how to install a VPN on my home wireless Netgear router.
I use Express VPN software on my browser... I'm curious how would I use this? Plug into my modem, then plug into my home WiFi router? So this sits in the middle? I use Google WiFi mesh network. Or is your router a WiFi router? If so is it mesh?
You plug this into your existing Wifi router (any) so it acts as a secondary Wifi. You will see your old Wifi and then this new Wifi. The step of plugging it into a an existing router simplifies DHCP. No setup required.
can your Pi router addon work with other VPN services? I just bought a year to Express VPN last month... also my house has a router and an "extender" that has two LAN ports and also WiFi... uses "moca" and has a switch on back for AP or RPT... For some reason I'm hardwired through this extender and am only get half the internet speed I should be getting hardwired.
Idk if its true,but it would make perfect sense,it was claimed in many places the 3 letters were breaking into and modifying the code with a USB on all router's in the place they are built,or stored,thus open before one ever gets them. Is this true? If so then all of this is no good right?
My home internet is completely wired (4 cables, no wifi). Would your VPN Router work with that? I see a quad of connectors in the vid. Is that for the Ethernet cables?
BraxRouter is designed to work in wired or wireless mode (one or the other) so I don't see any issues. However, you will now have two wired trunks so I don't know if your wiring can handle two networks
If you have a VPN installed and running on your computer, and connected to your normal home router, it still won't show your static home IP address will it? As it will be routed through your selected VPN location. Right?
You said we should connect more than one around the house. Do they have to be connected to the ISP modem? If that’s the case, do I have to hard wire my house to achieve that?
Google search "routers openvpn". Pay for a vpn subscription based on your research, then add it to that router. Asus is VERY solid with this. Google Asus open VPN routers and pick the model you feel works for you

The way I do it is a lot simpler. My BraxRouter product can be used as a Wired VPN. There's a video that shows my setup. The VPN is installed by BraxRouter so no software is needed on any device. New video ua-cam.com/video/Up2hwtkVyUQ/v-deo.html
Don't get confused with setting up a router as a VPN. That's not exactly suitable for privacy. All routers have that feature. The VPN needs to be away from you and public so it is not attributed to you. A 'VPN Router' routes SOCKS5 to a different server.
hi rob, is there anything like this in the uk? i just watched your video on sexploitation scam emails after receiving one and it’s motivated me to want to protect myself more with a vpn router
Hi Rob. You said your servers are in US only for privacy protection. I also remember seeing in your website about how your VPN being located in US is good because of 4th amendment rights. Could you clarify those a bit further? I thought US being a part of 5 eyes would jeopardize privacy for things based in the US.
US servers are subject to the 4th amendment and cannot be invaded without a warrant. So at least you're aware of issues. I have VPN servers all over the world now and they are not subject to the 4th amendment. However, it maybe a moot point since there are no logs
