Setting up a VPN?
coozer - 7/10/17 at 04:17 PM

I want to set up a VPN at home..

Basically I connect to BT through one of their wireless routers. I have 5 wireless devices, tablets, phones, firestick and a few wired connections, pc, stb etc..

How do I go about getting one VPN account to cover the whole lot?

Ive tried the vpn option in Opera and its like going back to dial up!

client to site or site - site VPN? IPSec or SSL?

A little more detail is required including what you are trying to achieve/

Phew! No idea Jeff,

Want to tunnel my bt router so everything is hidden..

Havent got a clue about the protocols...

OK, so tunnel it to where? VPNs need to start and end somewhere.

Tell me what you want to get out of this and I can talk you through what you actually need to do.

I need to hide my stb so i can watch the iptv during footy games, the thing goes black during live premier league games, blocked due to my uk isp.

The box has openvpn on it and I can set that up with a yearly sub.

However, for the money I want to use the vpn on all my devices.

Everythings so sensitive if I even THINK about something adds appear all over the place!
