Anyone have any luck with setting up VPN on a gateway that will work seamlessly with Xfinity internet and not have to go into bridge mode?
Tried using Asus RT AX3000 router with Xfinity modem in bridge mode and Nord VPN. NIGHTMARE. Signal kept dropping. Then we couldn’t get out of bridge mode.
We really want to use a VPN but not sure what gateway would be best option and of course no one at Xfinity is of any help. We just want one gateway that we can use for everything including running VPN through it so all of our devices are covered.
If you can’t tell we’re average on tech abilities so anything too wonky won’t work:-).
Thanks!
So why not get a separate modem like the Arris S33 and stop renting the Xfinity combo unit.
Then get a router that supports setting up VPN client interfaces.
I personally like the Ubiquiti UCG-Ultra gateway which supports VPN server set ups as well as VPN client setups. It does not have a built in WiFi access point, but there are lots to choose from. You might also need a PoE switch like the USW-Lite-8-PoE to power the AP(s) or a PoE adapter. Nice thing is you can expand to your heart’s content and manage it all from a single UI.
Another person falling for all those NordVPN ads… Unless you have a specific need, using a VPN constantly doesn’t protect your privacy or anything. There’s way more sophisticated ways to track the average user…
