#1) my router can setup VPN (asus n66r). Once it is setup in the router. Do I need to setup my all device?
#2) Does people setup their router or per their devices? (example tv box android, fireTV, chrome PC or tablet (wifi))?
#3) does this make kodi's apps less loading when viewing online video? Internet performance will be better?
Please... I still trying learn ...when we need VPN services....beside hiding our ip.
Thank you.
I got the lifetime subscription to Windscribe late last summer so maybe I can help answer your questions.
I have an Asus RT-AC66u B1 (also known as AC1750-B1) and have used my Windscribe VPN profiles on it without issues.
1) No, once you activate the Windscribe VPN profile in your router, all your devices that are connected to the router will have the same IP address as whatever country you're connecting to. Keep in mind the Asus router only has a limited number of slots for VPN servers (I think mine has 4). See https://windscribe.com/guides/asus
2) For me, it depends on my needs. I avoid doing it on the router because I have other people at home on the same network and don't want to mess up their Internet usage. Usually I only use Windscribe on my phone or on my laptop for streaming... On my laptop, I use a mix of both Windscribe's Mac OSX app and their Chrome browser plugin. Usually the Chrome plugin is faster to connect but if you want to make sure your IP address is completely masked, use their desktop app. There's some discussion on the Windscribe reddit about leaking IPv6 addresses: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windscribe/com ... c/dwffpu5/
The developers are super responsive on Reddit, so if you want to read up on some the threads before committing to this deal, it's not a bad idea.
3) I don't use Kodi much, so I can't really say (I have an Android Box, but I just watch Netflix regularly there). FYI Windscribe also has two servers to access Netflix US and Netflix UK for Pro accounts, but those are limited to desktop/Chrome browser plug-in only at the moment.
Internet performance is hit or miss sometimes -- it really depends on the server you're connecting to. What I find really baffling is that Canadian server performance tends to be pretty bad/slow at times compared to any other US location I'm connected to. I haven't done much testing since I only use it sparingly to access geoblocked content.
If you torrent or download lots, the SOCKS5 proxies (only 2 so far for US and NL.. Netherlands?) have worked without issue for me. I download more than I torrent and the speeds are decent.
@Nemlack I don't have the Fido modem (grey??) but if it's similar to the Rogers CGN3 (black box) since it's a Hitron modem, then I don't recall there being any options for VPN. You'd have to set it up in bridge mode and use another computer or router. I can't remember the settings for my old Rogers modem since I just upgraded to the Rogers CODA and bridged it immediately to use my own router... sorry I can't be of much help here.
