First of all I know express is not the best VPN, i’ve been wanting to change for the past year.
Now seems like the time is finally here to switch VPNs, or not…
My question is what VPNs work for routers that are privacy friendly?
Do you recommend installing VPN apps on separate devices instead of the router?
What VPNs?
How do you use your VPN at home?
Should I stick with Express and get a new 300$ router? (i’d rather not)
mulvad on a router? iVPN?
Advice, thoughts?
EDIT: my router is a Linksys WRT3200ACM
How did you exactly install Express on the router? Did you use an app or something of that kind?
If the VPN provider has WireGuard support, you may wanna use a wireguard client software to connect to it. Flash OpenWRT on the router, install and configure a wireguard interface that connects to Express, then forward packets from behind LAN to that interface so they go through the VPN tunnel. A bit tricky for beginners, but I hope you can make it.
Since OpenVPN protocol seems to become unsupported in the future, Wireguard should be the way to go. Mullvad/IVPN should also support it, and once you know how to set it up it should be usable across many services and devices.
For flexibility I’d do this. In case I’d wanna switch upstream servers for a single device without affecting others.
