There are two common ways to access VPN services for individuals:
1. Use a VPN provider
You can choose a VPN service that can be accessed either from your browser or by downloading an app or software to your device. These are subscription-based services that typically charge on a per device basis. Hence they can be quite expensive to set up. Also, each device needs to be configured individually.
2. Use a VPN router
This involves either purchasing a router with a VPN connection pre-installed or installing VPN software yourself on your home router. The advantage of this approach is that every device accessing the internet via this router gets protected automatically.
