I have an old router and I want to know how to configure it as an access point to share my VPN connection (pc VPN connection → access point → smartphone) to connect my smartphone, it is possible, thanks

    Check if your router can run one of the third-party firmwares available - DD-WRT, Tomato, or OpenWRT. You'll have to install whichever one you choose on your router first, and then you can come back here and follow the official instructions for DD-WRT or Tomato, or search the forum for how to do the same on OpenWRT. Happy hunting!

    That is also what I'm like. But the way to find third party safety?

    Unless the router supports WRT then answer is probably no.

    I believe you can set-up your pc to share the VPN with other devices but I would't recommend it.
