VPN box?

[ELECTRISK]

This device likely doesn't exist, however I really hope it does but don't know what it would be called.

Basically, I'm looking for a device with 2 Ethernet ports (input & output) that will route all internet traffic that goes through it through a VPN of my choice (Likely NordVPN or PIA) with pre-configured settings of my choice. 

Does this device exist? If so what is it called & who makes it?

Thanks!

I don't know about the software implementation but you would only need one network port, as they are usually full duplex, meaning they can both send and receive data at the same time.

Could you send a link to the product you are referring too?

That box is called your router. You can configure your router to use a VPN for all internet traffic. Check the VPN's support pages for how to setup that specific VPN.

https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/ And here's the Nord page to find all the info you would need to setup your router with vpn. So really all you have to do is pick out a router that works with whichever provider you prefer and you're good to go.

I was not aware that such routers existed. I expect something similar would be possible with a raspberry pi (ideally the latest 3b+).

Just bear in mind an off-the-shelf router might not be able to run a VPN at your full broadband speed, depending on how fast it is.
