Hi guys,
New on here, was wondering if anyone could help.
Basically I have a virginmedia super hub 100meg and use VPN software to switch on and off whenever I need (via the VPN providers software), my PC/phone etc are connected wireless and my TV receiver, console, blu ray player are wired (Ethernet). I have been reading up and seen that you can set your super hub into modem mode > connect it to a router that has been flashed with dd-wrt and install VPN on the modem. I believe there is instructions how to set up your VPN on their site. However I want some of my devices for example my TV receiver, console and maybe a phone to be free of VPN. I have seen some posts on this and could not really understand as it was not in laymans terms, also some posts were old and maybe this could be easier to perform now? I think I read something about policy based routing? So I was thinking:
1) what's a reasonable router/s that's good for a budget and would have the best and latest firmware that could let me bypass select devices (some connected VPN some bypassing it)
2) could I not use the superhub for the non VPN also? As I seen this tutorial? http://youtu.be/n7JNnyXtygQ Or am I getting mixed up.
3) and is this all safe and secure? Would any of this leave my network vulnerable. And I know you can brick your modem setting and installing this, are the YouTube tutorials easy enough to install dd-wrt or is there a UK provider of flashed modems?
Sorry for all the questions but thought I would explain all I could, as for why,I have seen more products like smart TVs and android sticks cannot have VPN on them and don't really want to use a smart DNS.
Cheer guys
