Dedicated Home Vpn Router

Hi there,

I have a subscription to a VPN service. They provide guides how to configure a router (eg DD-WRT) thats connected to their VPN service.

However i instead wish to keep my standard ISP sky router and have my devices connected.

I would then like to have a secondary VPN dedicated 'device' that is linked to the SKY router. This way i can have some devices go through VPN and some just connect traditionally.

I have connected a diagram outlining what i am trying to achive. Could anyone point me in the direction how this would be done?

Many thanks,

 

Is this all wireless? I think DD-WRT router OS has the capability to create 2 networks on the router.

 

Hi thanks for your reply,

The Sky broadband "ISP router" is mixed wired and wireless i would prefer the same for the attached VPN router. But its not critical if it has to be all wireless.

My real question is what hardware do i need for the VPN device.

Then once i have it and its configured to VPN. How do i then pass it through my ISP router to the internet.

Thanks

 

I hope you are paying for a VPN,using a free VPN has risks of it's own.Free VPNs rely on advertising for revenue. This is also why a VPN that limits your data is less likely to be dangerous than one that offers a free product.

 

Thanks for your concern. As in the op above it’s a subscription service I pay for.

 

plugging on router in to the other router, so the service provider's router would be the normal and the second one you could put the VPN on. Does your VPN provider have instructions for setting up the VPN on a router? https://www.vpnuniversity.com/routers/setup-two-routers-with-dedicated-vpn-router

 

Thanks for the link, it should be what I need. Yeh the vpn provider provides a guide thanks.

 

Update: I was able to achieve what I wanted.

I now have 2 wireless networks in my house. One is via my ISP as it used to be. The second is via a tp-link router. When connected to my second router traffic is routed through a VPN service I pay for.

One downside is that the speeds are slower than my ISP speeds. This is basically because the router I chose is cheap.
