Any chance that someone is using a Slingshot own router and has installed express vpn on same?

 

I am succumbing to peer pressure to get a "VPN" It will be used to cover up to 5 devices at once, total of 12-15 attached

 

I dont wish to become expert on the subject I just want it installed and working :)

 

So far I have factors "express VPN" "slingshot router" "broadband" now what?

 

Any help as always appreciated

There is no need for VPN services: https://gist.github.com/joepie91/5a9909939e6ce7d09e29

 

But if you were wanting to use a VPN service for any reason it is just an app. But read the above first...

VPN's have their place, just depends what you feel you need one for and understand the risks.

 

As MM said, most providers provider an app to connect with, so extremely easy to use.

 

Personally, I have two VPN accounts with different providers but they hardly ever get touched.
