Hi I have a feeling I may be asking this wrong because I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
I have a router modem combo can shut I the router function off and still use the USB port. My IR blaster needs to be plugged into it?
I don't want to flash the modem router to install a VPN because I'm worried I'll brick it. It needs new firmware to add the VPN.
I ordered a router so I could install a VPN on it for extra security.
What I want to do is run a VPN on my computer and the router because I've had a few problems with my ISP and one more and I'm banned for life.
I moved and apparently the department that handles copyright has my old address and sent two warnings then my internet was shut off. I had to call and that's when I found all of this out. If I had known I never would have got the second.
Why this happened is confusing because I wasn't torrenting I was streaming.
I looked up the law and it says it's OK and my ISP said it's OK, but whoever reported me said I was downloading and they won't believe me of course.
I don't want to be suspended for life because they are the only provider where I live.
Apparently the kill switch on my VPN doesn't work when the VPN sends an update. The VPN shuts off and asks if I want to install it but I don't see this if I don't open the VPN.
If it's minimized or I'm using the full screen I can't see it.
I don't want to take any chances with the ISP and if a guest stops over or someone hacks my WiFi I don't want to be suspended or anything. I'm very paranoid about it right now.
I actually unplugged my modem/router until the router gets here tomorrow.
The problem is the router I ordered doesn't have a USB on it. I forgot about the IR blaster when I ordered it.
I want to know if I put the VPN on the router then run it through my router/modem combo if that will work, or can I just shut the router function off on the combo and still use the USB.
I'm sorry if the question is a little confusing and I would return the router I ordered and get one with a USB but I don't want to wait 3 or 4 more days until the correct one comes in.
Any help would be great.
Again I'm sorry if this is confusing or I incorrectly stated something. I'm using my phone and for some reason this site doesn't like it, I'm having issues.
Again I'm sorry and any help at all is greatly appreciated.
