Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Should you even bother with setting up a home VPN server? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The answer is – it depends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you travel often and need to access your home PC workstation to use that computer\u2019s resources or access files, there are benefits to having a VPN server. Having an encrypted tunnel as a line of communication is much better than having unsecured access that\u2019s potentially open to malicious parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are there benefits to establishing a VPN on your router? Yes, but there are considerable downsides, too. On the plus side, there\u2019s no need to set up a separate VPN for your Android and iOS smartphones or any other device that needs internet access. All your devices will go automatically through your router\u2019s VPN when connected to your home Wi-Fi. This is convenient for users who employ a router as a server or a VPN client. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, sometimes you\u2019ll need a faster online connection and access to sites that don\u2019t allow VPNs. In such cases, you\u2019d have to disconnect from the Wi-Fi with VPN and use an unprotected router or disable it manually from the router\u2019s VPN settings menu. VPN service providers allow for easy VPN setup through their apps, so you can easily turn the service on or off without having to invest in a second router. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Investing in a cloud server and setting up a VPN just to access streaming platforms is likely more expensive than just paying for a subscription with a trustworthy VPN company. Cloud servers have limited bandwidth, while a small fee and a VPN app can give you access to myriad servers worldwide. Besides, you\u2019ll need technical know-how to make a VPN on a Linux or other type of server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, your reasons for setting up your own VPN don\u2019t have to be entirely practical. Learning how to make a VPN on your own is also a great opportunity to find out more about internet security. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
