There are 3 Important Reasons why you don't need to install a VPN on your router! VPNs on a Router are great for networking privacy but there are a few downsides you need to know! Thank you for watching!
Finally! Thank you. Amazing how hard it is to find this information. Devices I'm unable to install the software on was my curiosity. Hopefully nothing has changed in the past year since this vid was made.
That's just a "typical" router that's been rebranded from the GL-AX1800 with VPN software(shame on express smh). Vilfo VPN Router worked for me( Its FAST!) as it's CPU is powerful enough to Run a Windows Laptop. I use ExpressVPN & Surfshark. it supports MANY VPN providers right out of box, dummy proof settings, grouping for VPN and non VPN group, allows different VPN Providers or locations on a group basis. downside: you need an access point as even Vilfo says WiFi isn't the best. I use my ISP's router as an access point by just turning off DHCP and using one of its LAN ports then leave VPN decryption to Vilfo 😎.
There's something called split tunneling you know. Where you have devices that need the VPN and other devices that does not That's one of the reasons why I got the Vilfo VPN it also supports many providers instead of just one and has open VPN custom for providers that aren't listed that support OpenVPN. They recently added wireguard support.
There's also a menu on Netgear routers where you can select from devices that are connected to the network on which to ignore VPN. Firestick and Roku are 2 because you can't watch all your channels. It thinks you're out of home.
He's just spreading panic so people don't buy VPNs, if you listened closely to all of his "negative" claims, they are all lies or his own misconceptions.
@@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie Good! Working a lot! I bartend during the day and do RUclips at night. Vegas is still hot! Next week will be 104 degrees! Ugh
@@UltimateTechHubi bought a tplink router with openvpn. I havent configured it yet because i’m hearing conflicting views why you don’t really need vpn.
Thanks for your video, but you missed the elephant in the room: if you Internet is going be slowed down by the VPN, how can you reduce the slowdown ratio? does anybody recommend a router that can perfrom great in this repect? I don't need any fancy wifi gimmicks - and don't want to spend lots of money either!
There is nothing you can do to increase your speed on a VPN other than finding the closest server to your current location. I have several videos on how to speed up your router. Let me know if you want me to send you a link.
@@javiermitchell7073 A new router is great for advanced security and for the newer standards like wfif6e or Wi-Fi 7 but the router cpu won't help with your speeds. There are probably 7 or 8 factors that determine internet speed outside of your router. End devices like computers are limited by NICs and the computers hardware. Also ethernet cable type, interference (EMI) and how many devices on your network. The VPN is the bottleneck and there is nothing you can do about it other than turn it off. I have PIA VPN and have very fast speeds 930mbps but I have 1gig fiber so that's a big help.
@@UltimateTechHub you know you are cheating: if you get 930Mbps on VPN, what speed do you get in the clear ( no encryption)?. Is like using a Formula I car to do your shopping!. I don't have that speed, so will have to do what I have
During lecture today, my lecturer said before Someone Hack an ISP he or She will Get an ISP look for flaws in the network and Exploit it I don't know if what he said is true. I need an answer.
You must have never heard of VPN Fusion where you have control of which devices connected to router use a VPN or not. You can even have different devices connected to different servers
I have heard of VPN Fusion but not everyone has it. Here is a video I did on the ASUS AX5400 that has VPN Fusion. ruclips.net/video/99w7UQr9Htg/видео.html
I don't think that it increases the internet speed. It just dedicates an IP to you which has some benefits but it can also lead back to you because you will be the only one using it

I always look up why I shouldn't do something first lol. Thanks for the free information
Happy to help!
Aren’t their VPN routers with apps that allow for making changes remotely?
Yes some routers have that option. Thanks for watching!
I agree. My express vpn router is dead slow. Planning to remove flash router to back to normal router

It's a rebranded GL.inet Flint. I use one and it works well. I had to put a cooling fan under it.

Great video, thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you Bob! Hope you are doing well!
Thanks alot
If I’m moving into a new apartment and I pay utilities including internet - how do I know if my lease has a VPN or not? Should I get my own VPN?
Yes get your own VPN. You can put the VPN on your cellphone and computers.
FlashRouters sell new pre-flashed routers for non-techie folks that you can select which vpn you want from a list. 👍

useful heads up for wannabe PFsense under Tailscale nerds
Very good to know. Thank's 😀
Thanks for watching my friend! How's everything going in your neck of the woods?
@@UltimateTechHub neck of the woods. do not know what it means. but i'm fine hope you are too 😀
@@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie it means hows it going where you live! Lol. Sorry that's an American thing. Glad you are doing fine!
@@UltimateTechHub And your self ?
@@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie Good! Working a lot! I bartend during the day and do RUclips at night. Vegas is still hot! Next week will be 104 degrees! Ugh
So do you recommend it or not???
Yes I would recommend a VPN on your router. Thanks for watching!
@@UltimateTechHubi bought a tplink router with openvpn. I havent configured it yet because i’m hearing conflicting views why you don’t really need vpn.
ExpressVPN now allows 8 devices (unless you pay for a single month - in this case it's still 5).
Good to know thanks for the great information!
Unless I'm misunderstanding there marketing, I believe PIA has unlimited devices simultaneously with 1 subscription
Why does speed dying if I used network switch after VPN setted up router?

@@UltimateTechHub so you are saying it doesn't matter what router you use?.Surely the router's CPU speed matters. Send me those links

how to connect to another vpn if your router is vpn configured
During lecture today, my lecturer said before Someone Hack an ISP he or She will Get an ISP look for flaws in the network and Exploit it
I don't know if what he said is true.
I need an answer.
That sounds correct. Thank you for watching!

@@UltimateTechHub ahh ok just making sure. If it wasn’t for vpn fusion I would probably just use software client
@@UltimateTechHub Thank you for adding the link
Does the non-router VPN protect your phone when you are not home though?
Yes, just make sure its set to auto connect. Most VPNs only connect when hit the button.
@@UltimateTechHub ok thank you ☺️
Actually the opposite, even VPN software had tripled my internet speed as I was able to overcome throttling by my ISP
If your ISP is throttling you then change ISPs! If you pay for certain speeds they you should get those speeds otherwise they are ripping you off.
@@UltimateTechHublots and lots of people are in situations with isps having monopolies. i’m quite sure those areas are probably throttled much more.
You can also speed up your VPN router by buying a dedicated IP address if you have NordVPN.
I don't think that it increases the internet speed. It just dedicates an IP to you which has some benefits but it can also lead back to you because you will be the only one using it
@@supernova82
Actually it did. Anytime you don't have to share an IP range with others it will usually be better.
