What's VPN?
A Virtual Private Network is a properly secured connection between 2 computer networks. For example, you can connect to your home network from your work or vacation address. This will give you access to the files on your network drive from other locations. Thanks to the security, you can even go online safely in public areas. Because all the internet traffic is being encrypted, you're sure no one is reading your messages. As a result, you can also use online banking at any airport. You should use a router with VPN Client for this.
What can I do with a VPN Server?
Connect to your home network anywhere thanks to a VPN Server on your router. This allows you to save your vacation photos directly onto your own network drive. Even when you're connected to the WiFi network of your hotel. You can set up the connection with an app on your smartphone or laptop. You'll be able to stream videos from your own home network that way. Or, let the TV app of your provider think that you're home. That way, you won't have to miss that important soccer match.
What can I do with a VPN Client?
A VPN Client on your router creates a secure connection with a different network. That way, you can set up a private connection with your company network. It's also possible to connect your router to a VPN service like GooseVPN or NordVPN. The router creates a secure connection and shares it with all your devices. That way, you won't have to connect every device to your VPN separately. This means your internet is always protected extra.
