Title: VPN Post by: tans on Saturday, March 1, 2025, 15:06:21 Hello, i have BT Full fibre with a BT smarthub 2 router. I would like to install a VPN for my smart tv, can i install a VPN onto this router or is there another way around it? Google is not very clear…
I cant change the router as i need it for BT digital voice Cheers Title: Re: VPN Post by: Peter Venkman on Saturday, March 1, 2025, 15:10:57 I have never installed a VPN directly to a router but it should work, most smart tvs can run the VPN app from google play though, similar to the way a firestick does.

Title: Re: VPN Post by: STFC_Manc on Saturday, March 1, 2025, 22:22:02 Not sure normal routers from BT have the capability to put a VPN off, however you could get another router and plug that in, if you need the BT one.

Do you mean get a seperate router and plug into one of the ethernet ports on the BT one? Title: Re: VPN Post by: tans on Sunday, March 2, 2025, 10:12:38 I have a Samsung smart tv too.
