like the tomato router I use to have one there not too hard to set up. yes a better option for sure.
So every router needs to be flashed and dns changed before setting the vpn?
google "nord coupon"
There are deals out there to get 70% off.
I found running their app on a computer gets large speed loses BUT running on a router that does OVPN gets better than 90% speed.
They also allow multiple connections (from different locations) so setting up on a router for your plumber, neighbor, cousin,.........is okay. I've even used my connection overseas without a problem.
I am using ipvanish i think it was like 65 for the year absolutely no issues if 65 a year sounds steep maybe this game is not for you
