Do you run a VPN on your mobile device 24/7, if so why? If not, why not?
What does low-level VPN connections look like?
Currently my dumb ISP would block my Internet if there are too many TCP/UDP requests, from legit P2P services (e.g. P2P software updates), to video-conferencing apps (Webex, Zoom, Skype).
If I use a VPN, under the hood, will all the connections bundle under one giant VPN connection, or will each TCP/UDP request spawn independent VPN connections? i.e. can the ISP meta-analyze my requests over VPN (# requests, packet size etc.) to block my Internet?
Noob question
OK considering almost all websites use TLS
is a VPN needed for privacy from a users internet access provider ?
if a user is only using a PC for web browsing, and he/she is using a third party DNS like Quad 9
Can you save your ip adress in a vpn and connect to your ip adress somewhere else?
So I have iptv, I want to watch the fights with my friend. But I can’t use it because the iptv is locked to my ip. So is there a way for me to save my ip adress in a vpn and connect to ip adress somewhere else?
How dose a remote vpn use a virtual ip address?
I noticed that the the virtual adapter gets a virtual IP address from the vpn gateway.
Note
​
physical ip address = ip address assigned in my local network
virtual ip address = ip address assigned by the vpn gateway..
​
my question is, how exactly is that virtual ip address used at a packet level? When I want to send traffic (assume no split) what exactly dose my packet look like?
​
I know the dest address is going to be the vpn gateway. But what about the source is it going to use the physical ip address or the virtual ip address?
​
I am assuming the physical ip address otherwise how would the router be able to get packets back the the host. but if thats the case then what is the point of the virtual ip address on the adapter?
​
Thanks.

Question About Setting up a VPN on a Home Router
Hi All!
I was looking into setting up a VPN on my home router, but couldn’t quite find a straightforward answer. My home internet and router are through Spectrum, but when I log into my router, I don’t see any option for a VPN configuration. So, what would be the best way to set up a VPN on a Spectrum Router? Would I need to buy a different router that supports VPN capabilities or could I still install something through the Spectrum router?
Asus RT-AC86U + Asuswrt-merlin + OpenVPN = What speeds can I expect? Can I top a 1Gbps connection?
As I understand Asus RT-AC86U router has a build in AES Hardware Acceleration which takes the load off the CPU and does the encryption on-the-fly which is enabled in the Merlin Firmware. This should improve internet speeds over VPN.
I currently have a 400/20Mbps connection and will soon be upgrading to 1Gbit connection. Currently, I use a stock router that my ISP gave me without a VPN. I am looking to put all my devices on a VPN by using the Asus RT-AC86U router.
So my question is: Can anyone give me some real-world numbers on how this router performs with OpenVPN and Merlin firmware? Would I be able to come close to my internet top speed?
Unlimited? Not anymore.
I have a lifetime license to an “unlimited” service which is all paid for but my supplier has now offered me the option of ‘upgrading’ to their new premium service for a one of payment of nearly £50.
So my unlimited service must now be limited. WTF?
