I changed a while ago to Fibre to the Premises due to a deal that made it cheaper than my regular Broadband.
However, I have to use the ISP's Router as they won't offer any tech support to anyone using their own router. The trouble is, as with all ISP's, they're cut down even by basic standards as they don't have a VPN built in. (Probably none of them will if Govn gets it's way as it's already banned the other type of VPN in the UK).
The question is therefore how do I connect safely out to the web.
I thought I'd attach a line from my ISP's router to my BI room then put another router or switch in there that has a VPN and use that in a daisy chained formation. However thinking about this, wouldn't I then have to open a port on my ISP router to let the VPN router hear the traffic requests from outside thus exposing my entire network of other devices eg tv, phone etc to the net?
Any solutions? Is there a way to spilt the signal in to go to 2 routers at the point of entry?
