VPN on Router Issue (feddit.ch)

submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I've used a VPN on individual devices for some time now. Every once in a while I come across a website that says it's blocking my access because of my IP address. I then change to another server until one isn't flagged anymore. The problem is there isn't one server that's free from this issue.

I am now going to add a VPN to my router to cover my whole network. Is there an easy way to fix this issue from my router? Like a way to cycle IPs automatically? I suppose if worse cones to worse I could activate a client side VPN again to overwrite my IP. My new router is a GL.iNet Flint 2.

No worries. I do know that Windscribe has both CLI as well at custom configs that you can plug into router clients (i.e. wireguard, openvpn, etc), and they also offer residential IPs.

Happy VPNing!
