Ah ok, I have seen that mentioned in a few videos i've watched on this topic but it sounded like more of a built in service, rather than a means of installing your chosen vpn. Good to know i've been on the right track for that at some point though, thank you. My usual ping sits between 17 and 20ms on average with some days sitting at around 37ms (not sure why), it is largely 17ms though. I'm using CloudFlare DNS which was the slightly quicker option between that and google, showing 7ms ping rather than googles 8ms, when put into command prompt. I've also switched ISP's recently, after asking you a similar question a while ago, you suggested my old ISP might be using CG NAT and you were correct about that.

So i'm using NordVPN on my PC but would like to use it on my router so that everything connected to it will be using the VPN as well, namely my XBOX. My main reason for doing this is because i've been trying for several years now to find out how gamers get such an open and stable connection, that provides them with consistent good gameplay. I've tried various different things but to no avail, so in my head i'm only left with two other options that i know of, those being either a VPN to free up all ports and hopefully dodge ISP throttling or use a dedicated ip but i feel that one might be a stretch. At the same time i'm sure connecting to the same ip each time can only help stabilise my connect, even if it's just a bit.

Hi, I've been trying to use a VPN with my XR1000 and my modem is a TP-LINK Archer VR2100. I've set up my VPN and i think put all the config files in the correct place but, I remember being told last time I tried this, that the VPN would stop me from using the routers UI. This is the case for the VR2100 but not for the XR1000. I don't know if this is because I have placed the XR1000 in DMZ or not. I did also read on someone elses post that they should try disabling QoS, so I've done that too. Is there anything else I should do or do we think that it is in fact working becasue it's disabled my VR2100 UI? Thanks Ryan

No, I learnt from that last time when I couldn't get back into my router haha I can now access pretty much all areas of my XR1000 again, I'm not really sure what happened but I'm glad it's working again.

Oh ok, thank you very much for the info! While I'm here, I had a problem a while ago where I couldn't access parts of my router and you suggested turning off NETGEAR Armour. I'm having that issue again now but, this time I can only access the settings option. I have rebooted it, reset it and tried the old trusty off/on again and nothing works. NETGEAR Armour is also still off as well. The messages i'm getting are Missing Response from JSON and a longer one starting with "AJAX GET request"

Until today I thought it was just the interface but, having retried after reading your reply, NETGEAR and NordLynx say they have connection and "OpenVPN TAP - Windows6 3" says "No internet access" underneath it. When I click on "Change Adapter Options" that doesn't seem to appear as an option. I think I will be looking to change my ISP in the near future, it seems the easiest route and i've got a full streaming setup that's going to waste because of this unstable connection.

Hi, Over the past several months (possibly over a year), i've been trying to link Nord VPN to my XR1000 router so that I can use it to bypass the CGNAT issue I'm having. I've watched several videos on how to do so but, every time I connect to a server on the VPN, my router says it's no longer connected and i can't use it until I disconnect the VPN again. I know there's something I'm missing or doing wrong but I now have absolutely no idea what it is! Can somebody please help? Also, as a quick side note, I seem to get an average of about 4 days of what I'd consider good gaming connection in a month, 2 weeks of average and the rest is awful and I might as well not play. Might this be because of the CGNAT or is it likely to be my ISP? Many thanks
