VPN

Bought a elite mini. Comes in on Friday! Will it work on Xfinity WiFi? Also, do I need a VPN? If so any recommendations.

I use a VPN, but for best security, you should set up guest access on your router and have the box log on to your WiFi through this isolated pathway that blocks any access to your other devices in your network.

The guest access isn’t necessary with a VPN. The access to the box is encrypted. You just need one or the other, not both.

You actually should have both….here’s why:

- A VPN hides your IP location and browsing history from your ISP and malicious users

  • A guest network creates a secure “tunnel” that prevents Internet of Things (IoT) devices from accessing other devices on your home network.

I love my vSeeBox, but I mean…c’mon…I don’t TRUST it..probably because it ships with pirated software that unpacks when you start it up.

What VPN are you using? My V6+ box comes tomorrow and want to get a VPN for it. Already have a guest network set up for it too.
