VPN router, dual wireless

FMaz · January 4, 2019

Hello,

I use a VPN at home, and instead of configuring each devices indivudually, I would like to add a router under my existing router, creating a new wifi which some devices could connect to in order to have a VPN connexion.

I'd love to just replace my router (an old Linksys E4200) with one that would output dual wifi (one regular, one that goes to the VPN), but I don't think that exist... or does it?

Any way, I was just at a local store and none of the employees knew what a VPN was and the box they had there didn't specify if the routers were compatible with OpenVPN or IKEv2/IPsec.

I have looked into flashing my router with AdvancedTomato, but the project appear to have been abandonned and I'm not sure about the compatibility for my router.

Any suggestions as to what would be the most elegant solution to implement a dual wifi, one with VPN, or without?

Thank you!
