Trying to setup my first VPN on a Windows 10 computer.

I'm very new to the world of VPN's and to make matters worse I'm running Windows 10. There seems to be a lack of information and VPN clients compatible with this OS. https://testmyspeed.onl/

 I have a few questions for you knowledgeable people of this https://xender.vip/:

After you pay for a VPN client such as Viscosity, is there a separate process you have to do to setup the VPN server or can you pay for that as well? https://19216811.cam/

I'm using a Cisco Linkskys E1200v2 router, does anybody have any information on which types of VPN connection this router is compatible with?

With regards to Windows 10, are old tutorials outdated at this point or is the process for learning the basics still similar to older versions of Windows? Any good tutorial recommendations?

- Viscosity is a program developed by a company called Spark Labs. It has a 30-day free trial, then requires the one-time purchase of a license. The trade-off for this Viscosity is updated much more quickly and is always ready to go with even the newest operating systems.

After reviewing each OpenVPN program and have chosen which one you would like to use, please click the appropriate link from above to see the set -up instructions for your MacOS.


- Connecting to PIA on your router can be a great tool to use to protect multiple devices at one time, or to protect any device that we currently do not support.

Almost any router with VPN capability could work with our service. However, we only offer ready VPN setup guides for routers using specific router firmware. Here is a list of routers compatible with each of the currently supported firmware types:

DD-WRT -- http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices
Tomato -- http://tomatousb.org/doc:build-types
Pfsense -- https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/What_hardware_is_supported 
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IPsec_Compatibility#IPsec_Compatibility

However, if you can not locate your router within the above lists, it would appear that we do not support your router or your router does not directly support VPN services.

The directions for router-based VPN setups for this firmware can be found on this page: https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/hc/en-us/sections/204236038-Setup-Guides-Router.

In all likelihood, you will need to install ("flash") such custom router firmware onto your router. Please be aware that router flashing falls outside our support scope, and doing so would be at your discretion and liability.

It may be possible to configure VPN use on stock or other firmware, provided it has VPN configuration options, but we would not have a ready guide for its use.


- We can provide the same install instructions for supported device set up.
