Hi everyone
I must warn you firstly that I'm only slightly tech savvy so I can follow instructions with computers and programming but that's about it. Beyond that and I find it a bit challenging.
So I read about VPN's for creating a secure channel for me to use the internet. I bought a subscription from NordVPN.
I then realised it would be better and much easier if I ran VPN on my router to protect all devices in my home.
However, I'm struggling to do this, and not even sure it's possible. I have a TP-Link TD-W8968. According their tech support it only supports VPN Pass-through i.e. PPTP,L2TP,IPSec Pass-through.
From what I've read the most secure protocols now are Open VPN or IKEv2. OpenVPN seems ok so I'll go with that.
I'm getting conflicting advice from NordVPN and other sources as to whether or not I can setup an OpenVPN on a router. Their site says you have to setup a different protocol on each device which would be a complete pain.
So my questions are, how do I setup OpenVPN or even IKEv2 on a home router, and if possible should I be looking at a new router and if so what models support this. And finally do I need a subscription like NordVPN to do this?
I have searched quite a bit, and have yet to find anything that explains how to do this hence my question.
Thanks in advance
