I'd like to encrypt the data coming to and from my TV using a VPN service that I subscribe to but what's the best way to do this?
I thought about getting a router that I could install the VPN on which would have course apply it network wide and although I like the idea of just encrypting all network traffic at router level, from reading through threads on here that seems to be a bad idea for a number of reasons e.g. reduced bandwidth across the network and problems accessing websites and apps. I don't want to do anything that will cause my wife or kids problems when using their devices on the network.
As I'm happy to use the VPN provider apps on individual devices as and when required how can I deal with the TV as there is no corresponding app available?
I thought about just buying one of these and sticking it between the Virgin router and TV with Open VPN (or Wireguard once it's available on my VPN service) installed so it would only apply to that device but I don't know if it's what I'm looking for or more importantly if it can cope with the required bandwidth for a 4k stream. My starting point is Virgin's 200Mbps connection and I'm also not bothered about getting around geo-blocking so any solution involving the VPN would point to a UK server which I assume would minimise issues to an extent.
So, bearing in mind that I know next to nothing on networking what would you guys recommend as the best solution?
