Is it possible to use VPN using Windows or OS’s built-in settings only without having to install any plug-in or application to your browser or PC respectively?
This would be particularly useful when using administratively restricted systems.
I’ve used ExpressVPN installed on Windows 10 where it runs in the background. Next, I installed it on a Linksys WRT32X. In that situation all devices connect via the ExpressVPN Server selected on the Router. As no device runs any VPN softmmmmFirmware. Convenient when your Chinese “Smart Refrigerator” was never designed to feature VPN connectivity. How many Smart WiFi LEDs do you have? Last chapter; ExpressVPN stopped supporting 3rd party Routers so… I bought an Aircove Router.
You Thier Aircove router or if you have a router that is compatible, you can install their software on and use and manually devices as you want and all will be covered by the VPN.
I’m not sure. But I certainly can’t install any software or applications. I can however install SaaS, for example, I was able to install Zoom for viewing webinars and attending meetings. Years ago, I remember using Windows built-in IKEV2 something to manually set up a VPN from a provider. I think it might have been Hide.Me VPN.
Another interesting thing is that I have work VPN from Cisco on the PC to enable me to access some work related applications via office intranet. They all work fine but google and other websites still say that I’m from abroad.
Ok, so maybe I should clear my cache. Google literally states the current address sometimes. WhatsmyIP also yields the same address (the physical address).
Thank you. But I managed to sort out the problem. The admin hadn’t blocked installation of extensions on Chrome browser. So, I just installed one from a VPN provider, I think it was Tunnel Bear. Browsed what I needed to and removed the extension afterwards.
