That is because routers do not have powerful CPUs, thus encrypting and decrypting OpenVPN traffic is a real challenge for them. If you set up a VPN on the router and connect your device to a VPN-enabled router, your device will also be covered with a VPN connection. Such devices include consoles (Xbox, Playstation), Smart TV devices (except Android or Fire TV devices), smart doorbells, etc.
Some devices don't have the built-in VPN functionality, meaning that you can't install and use a VPN client on them. If you set up a VPN on your router, any amount of devices connected to the router will be counted as 1.Ĭover unsupported devices with a VPN connection. With NordVPN's subscription, you can establish 6 simultaneous connections. Secures the router's connection, meaning that all devices connected to your router's network will be automatically secured with a VPN connection and no separate clients are needed to be installed on the devices. Instead of installing and running a VPN client on your device, you can also set up a VPN on (some) routers, which comes with its own pros and cons.
