A VPN isn't a router, it is just all of your traffic gets sent through another server that hides your computer. Think of it as a mask and your computer is behind it.

There's software and hardware VPNs. A VPN router is a real thing. It allows for all of your traffic to pass through versus being software on individual devices.

Honestly I would recommend finding a YouTuber that plugs ExpressVPN and sub to their service using a promo code. You can flash a router very easily or have client level service. Connections can be managed from the client or the router level. If you wanted you could even split tunnel traffic for specific applications. For what it's worth your bank should allow your to login via the vpn they may ask you to confirm your identity via 2FA though.

Synology router has been rock solid and has a vpn package. Nice to get back into home network while away.

Buy any router supported by Freshtomato, and you not only get cutting edge firmware but they also support vpn. I picked up my Netgear R6300v2 for $10 at my local goodwill, and it has been running rock solid and providing VPN access for my devices.

Using the internet. Using a public hotspot. Many good reasons to put anonymity in your web usage.

Depends on who's asking Cool

File sharing. Especially when the VPN provides port forwarding so you can share out to the world easily.

Buying Xbox Live Brazil memberships for 1/2 the price of North American membership price.

But doing non-nefarious stuff is a little tougher, since many legit services like banks actively block known VPN IP addresses.

Windscribe.
I purchased a 3y package, so I don't pay a monthly fee.
