USING A VPN ON YOUR ROUTER
It’s also possible to set up a router so that all traffic from your network is routed over a VPN. That means even your smart devices like television sets can use the VPN service to bypass geoblocks.
This is not for the faint of heart, however, and you need a special kind of router to do it. Your router must support VPN services. Most ASUS routers do, as do most DrayTeks, but the majority of other consumer routers do not. On many such routers, however, you can install a third-party firmware like DD-WRT ( dd-wrt.com). If you want to install DD-WRT, visit their website and see if your router model is supported, and then follow the installation instructions for that router model very carefully. Unfortunately, there’s no universal guide we can provide for setting up a VPN on a router. Every VPN service provider has a different configuration. Your best bet is to visit the website of your VPN service provider and look for the guide for setting it up on your router. Most of the major providers have guides for DD-WRT and Tomato and maybe ASUS.
Even then, you do have limitations. It’s not easy to switch between VPN locations, for example — you have to manually log into your router and change the VPN server address. On the other hand, it does allow devices that normally couldn’t use the VPN to use it.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE’S NO UNIVERSAL GUIDE WE CAN PROVIDE FOR SETTING UP A VPN ON A ROUTER. EVERY VPN SERVICE PROVIDER HAS A DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION. YOUR BEST BET IS TO VISIT THE WEBSITE OF YOUR VPN SERVICE PROVIDER AND LOOK FOR THE GUIDE FOR SETTING IT UP ON YOUR ROUTER.
