Hello all,
I currently have a TP-Link router. I have the following services running:
* Minecraft and Valheim game servers
* Photo website

I want to add VPN NordVPN to the network but my current router does not support VPN client login.
I am looking to upgrade the router to something like ASUS TUF Gaming AX5400 so that I can provide network wide VPN, however I have a few questions
1) Will the gaming an photo website services still be accessible from outside the network, i.e. inbound traffic
2) Has anyone got experience with this router
3) Instead of updating router can I add a VPN router inside the network for all of the outbound traffic only? I have a managed switch so can configure traffic etc.

Any thoughts much appreciated
Regards

Before opting for a VPN do check the service provider for its support on the hardware you choose. For example, I use Ivacy and they have support on the following hardware for Asus:
Asus RT AC87U
Asus AC3100
Asus RT-AC3200
Asus AC2900
Asus AC1900
Asus OnHub
If you they support your desired hardware the customer support team will help you configure the VPN as well.
